It depends who you ask. On the surface, intellectual property makes a massive contribution to the economy, particularly as internationally trade becomes increasingly knowledge-based. There are those, however, who assert that vigorous enforcement enables only large corporations, and prevents smaller players from entering the marketplace. For a well researched (but potentially one-sided) discussion of this, see the Public Knowledge TPP presentation linked below.
