The chapter on [[state-owned enterprise]]s (SOEs) requires signatories to share information about SOEs with each other, with the intent of engaging with the issue of state intervention in markets. It includes the most detailed standards for [[intellectual property]] of any trade agreement, as well as protections against [[intellectual property theft]] against corporations operating abroad.<ref name="CSIS"/>

The [[e-commerce]] chapter of the CPTPP mandates, that signatories adopt or at the very least maintain laws for [[consumer protection]] with the aim to fight [[fraud]] and deceptive commercial activities.

== Negotiations ==
During the round of negotiations held concurrently with the [[Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation]] forum [[APEC Vietnam 2017|in Vietnam in November 2017]], the [[Prime Minister of Canada|Canadian prime minister]] [[Justin Trudeau]] refused to sign the agreement in principle, stating reservations about the provisions on culture and [[Automotive industry|automotives]]. Media outlets in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, which strongly supported quick movement on a deal, strongly criticized what they portrayed as Canadian sabotage.<ref name="cbc_20171111">{{cite web|last=Tasker|first=John Paul|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/justin-trudeau-tpp-canada-not-ready-apec-1.4398824|title='We weren't ready' to close deal: Trudeau defends Canada's actions on TPP |publisher=CBC News|date=11 November 2017|access-date=14 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171112052608/https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/justin-trudeau-tpp-canada-not-ready-apec-1.4398824|archive-date=12 November 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

Canada insisted that [[Cultural rights|cultural]] and [[Linguistic rights|language rights]], specifically related to its [[French Canadians|French-speaking minority]], be protected.<ref name="cbc_20180123">{{cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tpp-champagne-deal-1.4499616|title=Canada reaches deal on revised Trans-Pacific Partnership |publisher=CBC News|date=23 January 2018|access-date=14 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180123173103/https://cbc.ca/news/politics/tpp-champagne-deal-1.4499616|archive-date=23 January 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

However, Canada's major reservation was a conflict between the percentage of a [[vehicle]] that must originate in a CPTPP member nation to enter [[tariff]]-free, which was 45% under the original TPP language and 62.5% under the [[North American Free Trade Agreement|NAFTA]] agreement. Japan, which is a major automobile part exporter, strongly supported lower requirements.<ref name="cbc_20171111"/> In January 2018, Canada announced that it would sign the CPTPP after obtaining binding side letters on culture with every other CPTPP member country, as well as bilateral agreements with Japan, Malaysia, and Australia related to [[Non-tariff barriers to trade|non-tariff barriers]]. Canada's Auto Parts Manufacturers' Association sharply criticized increasing the percentages of automobile parts that may be imported tariff-free, noting that the United States was moving in the opposite direction by demanding stricter importation standards in the NAFTA renegotiation, later [[United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement|USMCA]].<ref name="cbc_20180123"/>

In February 2019, Canada's [[Jim Carr]], [[Minister of International Trade Diversification]], delivered a keynote address at a seminar concerning CPTPP - Expanding Your Business Horizons, reaching out to businesses stating the utilisation of the agreement provides a bridge that will enable people, [[goods and services]] to be shared more easily.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.canada.ca/en/global-affairs/news/2019/02/minister-carr-calls-on-manitoba-businesses-to-expand-their-horizons-with-the-help-of-the-cptpp.html |title=Minister Carr calls on Manitoba businesses to expand their horizons with the help of the CPTPP |publisher=Government of Canada|date=13 February 2019|access-date=14 June 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190214122648/https://www.canada.ca/en/global-affairs/news/2019/02/minister-carr-calls-on-manitoba-businesses-to-expand-their-horizons-with-the-help-of-the-cptpp.html|archive-date=14 February 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>

The final text of CPTPP was mostly identical to the original TPP, except for some provisions advanced by the US under the TPP, but not supported by the other members. In the [[intellectual property]] chapter, [[copyright]] and [[patent]] terms were shortened relative to TPP, and standards for digital IP protections were eliminated. Provisions allowing use of [[investor–state dispute settlement]]s for [[investment]] agreements and authorizations were also rescinded.<ref name="CSIS"/>

In December 2020, Japan Foreign Minister [[Toshimitsu Motegi]] has said that "TPP-11 sets high standards for regulations on e-commerce, intellectual property and state-owned enterprises", suggesting the amount of government intervention in the Chinese economy will not meet CPTPP requirements.<ref name="Nikkei staff writers">{{Cite web|last1=Kato|first1=Masaya|last2=Takeuchi|first2=Kosuke|date=16 September 2021|title=With eye on China, Japan refuses to ease TPP rules for new members|url=https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Trade/With-eye-on-China-Japan-refuses-to-ease-TPP-rules-for-new-members|url-access=subscription|access-date=29 September 2021|website=Nikkei Asia|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201217182027/https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Trade/With-eye-on-China-Japan-refuses-to-ease-TPP-rules-for-new-members|archive-date=17 December 2020|url-status=live}}</ref>
