Buying or selling written materials, inventions, patents, designs, trade marks or trade secrets?

Intellectual property (e.g., copyright materials and other types of property mentioned above) is assuming ever-increasing importance as a valuable business asset throughout the world. Buying or selling of intellectual property poses particular challenges, especially if it is intangible.

Tyler & Co has many years' experience of transactions involving the sale and purchase of intellectual property. We can:

• Advise on and check the correct identification of intellectual property;
• Draft a concise, practical agreement for sale which addresses all the issues and protects your position (if you are the seller);
• Give you good, practical advice on the sale agreement and changes that you may need to it (if you are the buyer);
• Assist you in your negotiations with the other party and guide you through the entire transaction to a successful conclusion;
• Advise you on applicable tax and stamp duty issues; and
• Ensure the proper registration of intellectual property, when available;
