Activists from several groups protest against the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement in front of Pfizer drug company's world headquarters in New York on Wednesday, February 1, 2012. The groups were specifically against the agreements extending the intellectual property rights (patent rights) of drug companies, such as Pfizer, which will limit access to affordable medicines in developing countries. The agreement is proposed to be with Chile, Singapore, Peru, Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam, New Zealand and Australia, the Pacific Rim countries. Japan and Canada may seek to be included at a later date.
