   Intellectual Property Taxation: Transaction and Litigation Issues is the only treatise of its kind that considers, on a comparative basis, the tax implications of major business transactions involving both traditional and emerging forms of intellectual property. The authors' analyses strike a perfect balance by explaining the technical tax considerations and their relation to the complexities of intellectual property transactions. Topics include:

• Intellectual property holding companies, research and development limited partnerships, and cost-sharing arrangements
• Taxation of emerging forms of intellectual property assets, such as domain names and Web contents
• New tax regulations governing intellectual property development costs
• Federal and state tax treatment of e-commerce transactions, including sales of online music, digital contents, and software
• International tax rules governing intellectual property development, acquisitions, licenses,                      and transfers
• Tax treatments of damages, settlement awards, and litigation costs in intellectual property litigation; software development, acquisitions, and transfers; and charitable gifts of intellectual property

The 2010 Cumulative Supplement discusses developments and updates including the major changes in IP tax laws enacted by the Emergency Economic Act of 2008, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and other significant federal legislation; recent cases involving the documentation required for the research tax credit, the taxation of software development and licenses, the capitalization of trademark licensing fees, and the deductibility of book writing and playwriting expenses; and the latest IRS rulings addressing intellectual property exchanges, assignments of patents, and installation and customization work related to software acquisitions.

In addition, you'll find charts and detailed explanations of state taxation of online transactions such as online sales and licensing of goods and software, digital music, and website development.
