Abstract

The Intellectual Property Chapter under the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership has introduced new obligations for Vietnam, notably the protection of Undisclosed Tests or Other Data. This study is of utmost importance as it aims to thoroughly examine the implications of these new obligations, focusing on identifying the benefits for intellectual property rights holders and the public's access to new medicines.
