Corporate Law & Intellectual Capital

Intellectual Capital is increasingly considered as the main driver for distinctive and differentiated competitive advantage. However, there are occasional difficulties for organizations to identify and quantify the impact in terms of extra revenue, market share, bottom line profits and sustainable wealth creation.

We advise and assist clients with the international protection of their products, services and brands along with any existing underlying patents, copyrights, trademarks, design rights and trade secrets. We also help clients with commercial contracts relating to strategic alliances, joint ventures, franchising, licensing, technology transfer and many other types of commercial transactions.

In today’s world, it is absolutely critical to understand and deploy intellectual property and intangible assets strategies to ensure immediate market protection and longer term corporate values. We assist both sellers and investors with tailor made analyses in their due diligence and investment processes. We also have extensive experience and knowledge in assessing the value of intangible assets for transfer pricing and cost sharing agreements, purchase price allocation and litigation.

TIG has developed proprietary valuation techniques based on a wide-ranging experience of IP transactions coupled with rigorous financial modelling, to deliver accurate analysis and conclusions to be used in a broad spectrum of real life applications. For example:

Financial & Tax Reporting
Determination of the intrinsic value and derived revenue from a broad range of intangible assets to help organizations and any relevant stakeholders to accurately prepare or interpret corporate financials and statutory documents.

Transfer pricing Research
Assistance in documenting transfer pricing policies by sector and nature of goods or services to appraise the importance and value of intellectual property and intangible assets involved in financial and tax frameworks.

Impairment Test
Help in impairment tests or valuation of any intangibles which can be subject to impairment.

Valuation in the field of insurance
Abilities to insure values of intangibles both in terms of pre loss, placement and post loss valuations. Determination of values of intangibles help insured parties and underwriters/insurance companies to agree on complex insurable terms and conditions including premiums and insured values, and to settle claim indemnities and liabilities when necessary.

Intangible Asset based Financing
Determination of the strength, sustainability and value of intangible assets that can be undisputedly recognized and qualified as cash flow generators coupled with a fair market value to be collateralized by banks or credit institutions.

The importance to revalue and recognize the fair market value of the intangibles has overtime become a pivotal element in companies’ development both for organic and external growth purposes. TIG’s transactional support encompasses Intellectual Property advisory services for domestic and cross-border merger and acquisitions, strategic alliances and joint ventures as well as investment and lending purposes.

Intangible Assets are commonly recorded at their acquisition cost in balance sheets. Within transactional contexts, a fair value assessment of those assets is generally required to express their revenue recognition factor.

We provide comprehensive and holistic assessments of intellectual property protection, quantification and potential monetization. TIG advises buy and sell side parties to effectively understand the importance and value of brand equity. This offers the relevant parties concrete information and data in order to make educated decisions on their deals.
