Intellectual Property

Copyrights, trademarks, patents and trade secrets are all examples of intellectual property. This is a vital and growing area in today's technology driven environment. Computer technology has paved the way for an increasing use and sale of computer property such as domain names and software. Intellectual property may also include hotel trade names, film rights and the copyright for a novel.

The sale of an intellectual property right may generate a capital gain tax of as much as 35 percent for corporations. An IRC Section 1031 Exchange can help you delay that gain. A tax-deferred exchange will allow a taxpayer to defer capital gain while disposing of an asset and increase leverage through reinvestment of the cash savings in your replacement property.

Exchange Services Group can work with you to develop your tax-free exchange to best utilize all your assets from your sale within the requirements of the tax code.
