Intellectual Property
"That said, if you do want to dig in, we would point you to the sections on Electronic Commerce and Intellectual Property."
so I did, to find that:
"Keeping Generic Terms Available For U.S. Producers: The chapter helps address the potential for inappropriately “overprotecting” geographical indications in ways that shut out U.S. agricultural and food producers"
so for example Hungary would not be able to protect "Tokai" wine - from the region of Tokai - because some US wine producer deams that too geographical overprotection, or France to protect "Champagne" or "Camambert" because they're generic terms for sparkling wine and smelly cheese. This paragraph is especially ridiculous wen thinking about "Windows" for a windowing system. Or rounded corners for a phone.
And you want the pitch-forks to be put away ? This treaty is as bad as people have thought it would be.
