Intellectual Property Transfer

Intellectual Property Transfer in Mergers and Acquisitions Law refers to the process of transferring ownership of intangible assets like patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets from one company to another during a merger or acquisition. This transfer ensures that the acquiring company gains all the rights to use, sell, or license these assets. Properly managing this process is crucial to protect the value of the business and ensure compliance with legal obligations, as these intellectual properties often play a key role in a company's competitive advantage.
