The conference was aimed at anyone wanting to learn more about this increasingly important area of taxation law (but not experts who practice in this area on a daily basis).
Topics covered included:
- legal features of the different types of intellectual property (split between statutory rights and non-statutory rights)
- different forms of intellectual property
- tax consequences of exploiting intellectual property - treatment of proceeds
- potential deductions arising from creating or exploiting intellectual property
- tax consequences of disposing of intellectual property
- structuring ownership of intellectual property
- a case study.
