IP Centralisation

Are there benefits in centralising IP in one jurisdiction or in a licensing company?

As businesses expand IP creation geographically, central management of IP strategy and policies becomes harder to govern. Often there are benefits in IP centralisation for companies of a certain size to assist in the setting and enforcement of central strategy and policies as well as for tax and fiscal reasons.

ipVA advises on the IP factors that should be taken into account in determining the right country in which to locate your IP, balancing out efficiency and enforcement factors against tax and fiscal considerations.
