TAX EVASION

In recent years the EU has set a number of unusually hefty penalties for tax evasion to such companies as Apple, Starbucks etc., the main assets of which are intangible. This scrutiny on behalf of tax authorities at the international level is related to global changes in the principles of taxation and, in particular, profits from intangibles (royalty).

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

An intangible asset is an asset that lacks physical substance (unlike assets as machinery and buildings) and usually is, by its very nature, hard to evaluate. It includes patents, copyrights, franchises, goodwill, trademarks, trade names, computer based assets, etc.

These assets represent an increasingly large proportion of a company’s net worth. The protection and management of these assets has become a commercial imperative, requiring the development of a set of practices that are encompassed within the field of Intellectual Property Management

In fact, intellectual property may bring much more benefits for any company than a tangible asset if protected prudently and used properly.

Our mission is to help contributing to the development and success of innovative companies

We aim to intertwist finance, R&D, legal and audit teams within the organization to optimize intellectual property decision-making processes, particularly to mitigate risks, build legal and commercial strategies and monetize intangible assets by:

— Performing IP audits of businesses and projects;

— Organizing and structure R&D activities and protect their outcomes;

— Classifying intellectual property by types, IP classes, etc.;

— Developing strong long-term IP protection and management strategies;

— Managing all the range of intangible related issues as business partners.
