Intellectual Property
In some cases Intellectual property can be your most treasured, and at the same time most vulnerable to threat, asset. Whether that is a trademark, a patent, a copyright or a design you need to put down the proper safeguards in order to protect and maximise the value of such assets.
Cyprus has reformed its IP tax regime by introducing an 80% tax exemption on IP related profit. With that in mind the IP holding sector has gone through a major transformation thus constitutes the island as one of the most attractive and preferred IP locations in the EU and worldwide.
Throughout our in-depth knowledge and experience in IP matters, we are involved with virtually all aspects of business relations, in particular dealing with reviewing, negotiating and advising on a wide variety of intellectual property contracts. We are often engaged to assist in complex cases of intellectual property structures assisting with the legal requirements which should be considered in every transaction. Our IP experts can assist you in the protection and maintenance of your IP assets, while at the same time provide advice for the way forward until disposing such asset.
