Are you keeping track of every aspect of your intellectual property rights?
The questions that arise regarding intellectual property can be cutting edge or common place. One of the latest disputes to arise in Hollywood focuses on who owns the copyright to computer generated characters. However, it was not that many years ago that an effort was made to patent a version of the timeless peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Whether you are trying to determine ownership of a copyright or whether an idea is patentable, Asterion’s experts are adept at analyzing the financial aspects of IP and establishing a value for them.
Is now the right time for you to consider a merger, sale or acquisition?
For some businesses, year-end is a time when mergers become a top priority. Among potential deals making news recently is Hasbro’s approach to Mattel, perhaps with an eye to strengthening their market share. Meanwhile, Disney is exploring whether to buy much of the 20th Century Fox catalogue, which could create a platform from which they could more easily compete with Netflix.
If you are considering a change in the ownership of your business, you may want to contact Asterion for assistance.
