Dear Mr. Prabhu: We are writing to you as concerned people living with HIV and civil society organizations working on the issues of intellectual property (IP), trade, and access to medicines to express our serious discontent over the IP provisions in the ongoing negotiations of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). These provisions in RCEP are referred to as TRIPS-plus, and go way beyond India’s obligations under the World Trade Organization’s Agreement on Trade Related Aspect of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). We call on the Government of India to protect the flexibilities available under TRIPS agreement in larger public interest.
