Program Summary

Taxpayers who own valuable intellectual property (IP) assets, such as copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patents, or other IP rights, have unique estate planning needs and challenges. Ensuring the ownership and/or control of these assets and their associated income streams passes securely and efficiently to or for the benefit of the owner’s family or other desired beneficiaries requires special consideration. This presentation will identify the different types of IP assets that trust & estate professionals may encounter, address tax impacts and transfer mechanisms associated with IP, propose ways to structure ownership and control of IP for estate and business planning, and explore unique challenges and strategies to avoid dispute and/or dissipation of value. Presenters will discuss real life examples of planning successes and failures involving IP assets and applications of the lessons learned.

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Various types of relevant IP assets
  • Tax and transfer consideration for IP assets
  • IP ownership structures for business and estate planning
  • Unique planning challenges and strategies for IP assets
