SECTION 1. INTERNATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION OBJECTIVES.

    The principal objectives of the United States regarding 
international protection of intellectual property rights are--
            (1) to accelerate the full implementation of parts I, II, 
        and III of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of 
        Intellectual Property Rights (hereafter referred to as the 
        ``Agreement on TRIPS'');
            (2) to seek enactment and effective implementation by 
        foreign countries of standards for protection and enforcement 
        of intellectual property rights that supplement and strengthen 
        the standards and obligations contained in the Agreement on 
        TRIPS and the North American Free Trade Agreement, including, 
        but not limited to--
                    (A) supplementing and strengthening such standards 
                and obligations through bilateral and multilateral 
                agreements to assure the protection of new and emerging 
                technologies, and new methods of transmission, 
                distribution, and use, and
                    (B) eliminating discrimination, unreasonable 
                exceptions, or preconditions with respect to the 
                protection, enforcement, or commercial enjoyment of the 
                full economic benefits arising from any use or 
                exploitation of intellectual property rights;
            (3) to secure fair, equitable, and nondiscriminatory market 
        access opportunities for United States persons holding 
        intellectual property rights, including rights that are 
        currently or that may later be granted by a foreign country to 
        its own nationals with respect to the use or exploitation of 
        intellectual property;
            (4) to take an active role in the development of the 
        intellectual property regime under the World Trade Organization 
        (hereafter referred to as the ``WTO''), particularly with 
        respect to monitoring implementation of the regime by WTO 
        members and use of the WTO dispute settlement procedures;
            (5) to take an active role in the World Intellectual 
        Property Organization (hereafter referred to as the ``WIPO'') 
        and to ensure that the WIPO and the WTO work together in a 
        mutually supportive fashion;
            (6) to establish and maintain a Model Intellectual Property 
        Agreement which sets forth a high level of intellectual 
        property rights protection and to ensure that all future 
        international trade agreements entered into by the United 
        States are based on the Model Intellectual Property Agreement;
            (7) to make protection of intellectual property rights a 
        priority factor for determining eligibility to participate in 
        future free trade agreements and the generalized system of 
        preferences;
            (8) to ensure that countries or fast-growing economic 
        entities that seek to accede to the WTO agree to full and 
        effective implementation of parts I, II, and III of the 
        Agreement on TRIPS and resolve any major outstanding 
        intellectual property-related issues of concern to the United 
        States prior to accession;
            (9) to require that United States diplomatic missions 
        abroad include intellectual property rights protection as a 
        priority objective of the mission; and
            (10) to take appropriate action, including the 
        establishment of technical cooperation committees, to encourage 
        and help foreign countries improve the protection of 
        intellectual property rights.

SEC. 2. REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY INTO NEW FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS.

    (a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
President may not negotiate any new free trade agreement with a foreign 
country, unless the President first determines that such country--

        Agreement on TRIPS, and
            (2) is willing to enter into an agreement with the United 
        States to provide intellectual property rights protection in 
        line with the protection set forth in the Model Intellectual 
        Property Agreement developed pursuant to section 6.
    (b) Upgrading Existing Free Trade Agreements.--If, after the date 
of the enactment of this Act, the United States enters into a free 
trade agreement with a foreign country that provides greater protection 
of intellectual property rights than a free trade agreement previously 
negotiated with another country, the President shall seek to amend such 
previously negotiated agreement to provide for such greater protection 
of intellectual property rights.
    (c) Notice to Congressional Committees.--The President shall 
provide written notice to the Committee on Finance of the Senate and 
the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives of--
            (1) any determination made under subsection (a), and
            (2) any progress made in amending a previously negotiated 
        free trade agreement under subsection (b).
