This means that companies and businesses can now increase their asset base by registering their business name, product or brand as a trade mark, register or acquire (by purchase outright or licence) domain names, existing trademarks, patent and many other intellectual property items such as copyright, know-now or trade secrets and write off the costs as a capital allowance against the taxable income of that business. The asset can be purchased from a third party or a foreign affiliate. It can also be purchased from another Irish business, subject to certain conditions. There is a requirement that if the registered trademark or other intellectual property is sold within 15 years of it's acquisition that a claw back may be applied.
