Event Introduction

The German Trade Office Taipei (AHK Taiwan), Dennemeyer Consulting, and Ecovis invite you to a webinar covering the importance of Intellectual Property (IP) in M&A scenarios. Learn how IP can contribute to better investment decisions, become a value driver, and gain an understanding of its impact from a tax perspective.

A deep understanding of your target’s or joint venture partner’s IP portfolio in relation to your own and those of others in the market is important especially when investing abroad. Whether it is through setting up your own company or merging with an existing one, the tax impact of the IP involved is a crucial aspect to consider for a successful investment.

Our experts will share best practices on how to detect red flags and opportunities out of the global IP landscape. Additionally, they will show how to calculate the monetary value of IP and how to handle post-merger IP portfolio integrations.
