How to Protect Your Intellectual Property Abroad and Minimize Tax Liabilities

Is your technology company’s biggest asset – its intellectual property (IP) – automatically protected in other countries just because it is protected in the U.S.? It’s not! In this podcast episode, members of our International Tax Practice uncover this and other missteps that many companies make in the tax planning process when trying to expand globally.

Tune in as they share insights on key considerations for timing, structuring and planning properly so you’re not paying taxes in multiple jurisdictions.

Listen to learn more about:

  • Considerations to make to protect intellectual property
  • The implications of developing IP in foreign countries by hiring independent consultants
  • What happens when foreign entities are inherited
  • The implications and risks associated with a multinational leveraging IP to customers for their use
