A lot of the IP issues with TPP are exactly what I meant when it benefits Americans more than other countries, since foreign countries tend to be less restrictive about intellectual property rights.
Also, we really need a Powerpoint summarizing all the issues, both for and against, from all perspectives, with TPP. It's such a huge agreement, and taking only some aspects into consideration, such as IP rights, shouldn't invalidate other aspects of it. It should be considered as a whole.

These ip ideas have been brought forth before in American Law and unequivocally been voted down. And an attempted end-run around the American legislative branch should be opposed on principal by Americans, even if the letter of the law seemed germane. There is a reason it wasn't done in daylight.
