Many of these provisions are absent from international agreements currently in force – such as the World Trade Organization’s TRIPS accord – and from the bilateral free-trade agreements that the US itself has negotiated with a host of countries. In other cases, protection periods would rise considerably.
这些条款中有许多都不见于目前有效的国际协议（如世界贸易组织的TRIPS协议）和美国本身与许多国家谈判的双边贸易协议。在其他例子中，保护期可以大幅延长。就版权来说，美国要求出版后90年或创作完成后120年，而TRIPS的期限是50年，美国与澳大利亚、智利、韩国的秘鲁为70年。
