Home Taxation For Foreign Expatriates
Expatriates doing business in Asia have to contend with local financial reporting requirements in their foreign countries of residence including personal income tax reporting and, where applicable, business income resulting from their operation of a foreign-registered company. Depending on the jurisdiction, these requirements may either be straightforward and uncomplicated, or cumbersome and convoluted; it can sometimes be a lot to deal with. But it’s important that while doing so, expatriates not overlook any attendant reporting requirements back in their home countries. Although most countries around the world exclude foreign-sourced income from their citizens’ reporting requirements, certain others (most notably the United States) have altogether different requirements that must not be overlooked.

Do Intellectual Property Rights Last Forever?
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) refer to the body of legal protections available to authors and creators for their inventions and works – most notably patents, trademarks, and copyrights – which extend exclusive rights in their favor for limited periods of time as a form of limited monopoly incentive to continue developing and sharing their output with the rest of us. A question I’m often asked by creators is how long, exactly, those various terms of protection last, and whether their heirs can benefit from them. “It depends” I tell them. “And yes, of course!”
Responding To Infringement Allegations In The Workplace
Many companies nowadays find themselves accused at some point of having infringed somebody else’s intellectual property in the course of their operations. Such allegations may certainly cause alarm for business owners, particularly given how they are sometimes presented. But they need not bring things to a grinding halt, and can often be resolved amicably and cost-effectively depending […]
Territoriality In Intellectual Property Rights
Creators and legal practitioners are sometimes confused when they think about intellectual property rights in global terms. Although its true that creators retain so-called “global rights” to their works unless and until they are assigned or transferred territorially, it does not follow that rights owners immediately or automatically receive the benefit of protection for their works everywhere around the world from the moment they are created. Yet mechanisms do exist to facilitate such protection and related trade involving intellectual property rights amongst different jurisdictions.
Using (Other Peoples’) Intellectual Property in the workplace
Many businesses are built around intellectual property that they create themselves, whether ideas for better products or services, or new content that’s never existed before. But virtually every business enterprise regularly uses somebody else’s IP in the course of their operations. Most of this use involves copyright, simply by virtue of our daily activities. It’s virtually impossible to go through your business day without making some use of another person’s copyright, and it’s almost impossible to prevent it from happening technologically. That’s why copyright owners seek to control the authorized use of their works by imposing certain “road rules” affecting their use.
Intellectual Property Rights For Start-ups And Entrepreneurs
Start-up businesses are typically based off of an idea, maybe for making a better product or providing a better service or the creation of some new content. Ideas and creative expressions are legally protected around the world by various kinds of intellectual property (IP) rights, which serve to protect against their unauthorized use. Although IP rights vary somewhat in terms of their scope(s) and duration, they may perhaps be thought of as different fingers of a common hand serving the same underlying purpose.
Entertainment Lawyers: An Indispensable Asset for Creative Talent
Clients in the entertainment industries often face multi-faceted concerns. In the best of times, they will be monetizing their talents and responding to commercial opportunities. At other times, they may be accused of wrongdoing, or be the victim of wrongdoing themselves.
An entertainment lawyer may therefore be the best investment creators can make in themselves.
