Managing the tax issues and transactional consequences relating to intellectual property assets is a critical part of any merger, acquisition, reorganization, joint venture or tax-driven migration of IP assets from one affiliate to another, particularly for a multinational corporation.

Whenever a transaction includes either the acquisition or the migration of IP assets, it often results in inter–affiliate licensing decisions that implicate both tax and IP issues. The failure to address both the tax and the IP issues can result in harm to the company.
