Federal Taxation of Intellectual Property Transfers bridges the gap between intellectual property law and tax law by explaining how to achieve capital gains tax treatment for licensing agreements.

Federal Taxation of Intellectual Property Transfers bridges the gap between intellectual property law and tax law by explaining how to: achieve capital gains tax treatment for licensing agreements; deal with the "sale" requirements for capital gains taxation; qualify for safe harbors; avoid the pitfalls inherent in copyright transfers; and determine when patents, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual properties qualify as capital assets. This tax-planner's tool also discusses judicial and legislative developments as they relate to capital assets sold or exchanged and provides a full analysis of amortization deduction rules and recovery of acquisition costs.
