How do you hold intellectual property offshore? That is the topic of this section.
The most valuable part of many businesses is intellectual property. IP (Intellectual Property) refers to trademarks, software, know-how, technologies and features that are essential elements of your business. These assets may be registered, as in the case of patents or trademarks, or unregistered - copyrights, manuals, processes etc. They are all valuable intangible assets without which your business could not survive.
Of course, in each country the process of registering a trademark or patent is slightly different. The cost of services varies greatly, depending on the territory in which the patent is valid. You can register in the United States or the European Union for example - but in other parts of the world you need to register certain assets country by country.
Holding intellectual property offshore in an SPV such as a corporation, trust or foundation is a standard way to protect these key assets from the risks of day-to-day business like tax, bankruptcy or political instability.
