This book covers both the intellectual property (IP) law and the relevant taxation law and the interface between the two. It starts by explaining the basics of IP law and then moves on to cover the UK taxation system and how this applies to patents, designs, trademarks, copyright and design rights. Further it covers tax planning and specific tax applications and finally it provides some case studies. This new edition includes Finance Acts from 2009 through to 2013, corporation tax law rewrites in the Corporation Tax Acts 2009 and 2010, Taxation Act 2010 (international and other provisions) and updated case law.
