The 2012 Student Update is accessible by clicking here. This casebook is the first to provide interdisciplinary coverage of two exciting areas of the law: intellectual property and taxation. Valuable business assets are increasingly in the form of intangible assets such as patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, and computer software. Moreover, with the arrival of global, e-commerce transactions on the Internet, new forms of intellectual property, such as domain names and web contents, have emerged. The creation, development, acquisition, and sale and licensing of these intellectual property assets have significant tax consequences. Authors Maine and Nguyen adopt the problem method in addressing intellectual property taxation, and cover both general and special tax principles governing different forms of intellectual property. The book's ten chapters are each devoted to the taxation of a major IP transaction such as intellectual property research and development, acquisitions, sales and licenses, and judgment awards and settlements. Every chapter contains a set of relevant problems, a summary of the black letter law, and excerpts of important cases and administrative pronouncements.

Many companies that have become household names have avoided billions in taxes by 'parking' their valuable intellectual property (IP) assets in holding companies located in tax-favored jurisdictions. In the United States, for example, many domestic companies have moved their IP to tax-favored states such as Delaware or Nevada, while multinational companies have done the same by setting up foreign subsidiaries in Ireland, Singapore, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. In this illuminating work, tax scholar Jeffrey A. Maine teams up with IP expert Xuan-Thao Nguyen to explain how the use of these IP holding companies has become economically unjustified and socially unacceptable, and how numerous calls for change have been made. This book should be read by anyone interested in how corporations - including Gore-Tex, Victoria's Secret, Sherwin-Williams, Toys-R-Us, Apple, Microsoft, and Uber - have avoided tax liability with IP holding companies and how different constituencies are working to stop them.

Not only the basic political, legal and economic questions but also major topics like income measurement, shareholding structures, corporate social responsibility and tax shelter disclosure are covered.

Whether you are a corporate executive, international policy maker or motivated student, "Intellectual Property for Executives" will help you grasp an exciting area that continues to evolve.Intangible assets encompass formal intellectual property (IP) such as patents, trademarks, copyright and trade dress and other sources of corporate value such as trade secrets, knowhow and reputation. Together they represent an emerging asset class with unlimited opportunity, but also with so many gaps:*In multinational corporations and innovative firms, enterprise value has become more than 80% intangible, but management techniques, accounting principles and tax rules were all developed in an era when a firm's value was driven by tangible assets such as land, buildings and machinery.*Large firms have become proficient at playing the game of moving intangible assets to offshore locations, thereby reducing their tax bills. Indeed, in some industries, tax strategy has become a primary tool of competition. Governments have scrambled to catch up and ensure that taxes are collected fairly.*In 2017, the OECD base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) action plan was implemented in a multilateral instrument by more than 70 countries, and corporate tax departments are now trying to figure out how to establish "intangible substance" to match their choice of domicile for their IP holdings."Intellectual Property for Executives" is for people who live in those gaps. It is also for executives who are looking for an overview of how to make sense of it all.The book is organised in three sections. *The first part sets the scene - a quick history of IP systems, how IP got on the executive agenda, USA public policy regarding IP and a special chapter on the growth of China as an IP power.*The middle part speaks about the taxation of intangibles, double taxation treaties and introduces the concept of "substance" in intellectual property business.*The final section puts it all together with guidance on how to build "substance" into corporate governance, local leadership, value-creating DEMPE activities, building local capabilities and conducting an IP audit.Intangible value in has already established its dominance in enterprises. With further growth in autonomous vehicles, VR, AR, 3-D printing, artificial intelligence, blockchain, big data and robots, it will become even more important to master intellectual property and intangible value.
