Final thoughts on IP holding companies and corporate social responsibility. 000040745 520__ $$aMany companies that have become household names have avoided billions in taxes by 'parking' their valuable intellectual property (IP) assets in holding companies located in tax-favored jurisdictions. In the United States, for example, many domestic companies have moved their IP to tax-favored states such as Delaware or Nevada, while multinational companies have done the same by setting up foreign subsidiaries in Ireland, Singapore, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. In this illuminating work, tax scholar Jeffrey A. Maine teams up with IP expert Xuan-Thao Nguyen to explain how the use of these IP holding companies has become economically unjustified and socially unacceptable, and how numerous calls for change have been made. This book should be read by anyone interested in how corporations - including Gore-Tex, Victoria's Secret, Sherwin-Williams, Toys-R-Us, Apple, Microsoft, and Uber - have avoided tax liability with IP holding companies and how different constituencies are working to stop them. This is the first book to explore both domestic intellectual property (IP) holding companies in the United States and foreign IP holding companies worldwide Adopts a storytelling approach, avoids legalese talk, and is accessible to a broad range of audience Focuses on companies with nationally and internationally recognized names and products Provides in-depth case studies to reveal domestic and international tax planning strategies 000040745 650_0 $$aLicense agreements$$xTaxation-Law and legislation$$xUnited States 000040745 650_0 $$aCorporations$$xTaxation$$xLaw and legislation$$xUnited States 000040745 650_0 $$aHolding companies$$xTaxation$$xLaw and legislation$$xUnited States 000040745 650_0 $$aLaw$$xIntellectual Property$$xGeneral 000040745 655_4 $$aElectronic books 000040745 85640 $$uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/wipo/detail.action?docID=5211650$$zView this Ebook 000040745 903__ $$aCambridge Intellectual Property and Information Law 000040745 904__ $$aBook 000040745 942__ $$2ddc$$cEBOOK 000040745 980__ $$aBIB 000040745 980__ $$aOS
