Exchange Control

The matter of exchange control refers to the government restrictions regulating the transactions relating to capital - in this case intellectual property - between a resident and non-resident of a country. The idea behind these regulations is to protect the economy of the country in which the intellectual property originates. At Adams & Adams, our attorneys will help you to navigate the requirements to ensure compliance with the exchange control regulations in all your business transactions.

We will also help you to determine the correct valuation of your intellectual property. The purpose of valuation is to determine a fair value for the intellectual property. The value is not necessarily equivalent to the price or cost of acquiring or creating the intellectual property rights; it is generally accepted that a more realistic quantification is to equate the value to the sum total of all future benefits to be derived from the intellectual property, valued at current rates and compressed into a single payment.
