Overview

This event will look at the practice of licensing intellectual property rights in a business world which is increasingly global and IT-based. It will examine – in non-technical language - the scope and context of licensing from a legal perspective, touching on relevant trends in patent, trade mark, copyright and emerging areas of intellectual property.

The event will also discuss some of the key tax issues which arise from common licensing arrangements, including an overview of the tax implications of such arrangements in Thailand and other key jurisdictions in the ASEAN region.
