Book Description:
|
For the first time, an intellectual property and tax scholar collaborate to investigate the use of intellectual property holding companies in both the United States and abroad. The book tells the stories of Gore-Tex, Victoria's Secret, Sherwin-Williams, Toys-R-Us, Apple, Microsoft, and Uber, explaining how these companies create phantom structures in, and move their patents and trademarks to, tax-favored jurisdictions to avoid paying taxes.
