Bill: When it comes to intellectual property issues, there's always a lot to think about, and one of the best minds in the country is Marc Hankin. 

Marc: A little bit of planning will really prevent a big problem down the road, and intellectual property protection is somewhat confusing, you really should talk to someone who's a specialist at doing this, but not doing that costs so much more down the road because you haven't protected your most important asset which is your technology. You have to, first of all, protect your technology, protect your inventions, your innovation. Number two is worry about, when you're buying a product from someone else, whether you're a value edit reseller or distributor, if you're getting products manufactured for less money, for example, in China or somewhere else, when you sell those products here in the United States, you have to worry about whether someone has rights that can block you, and perhaps come after you and sue you successfully for infringing their rights.

In this 1 minute highlight, Tim Voorhees, Managing Partner - MatsenVoorhees Law discusses an overview of a tax reduction technique called "Capital Gains Split Dollar".

Transcript: 

Tim: We started with charitable remainder trust back in the 1980s, but the industry and the tax code have both evolved to the point where there are now much more sophisticated vehicles. One of the clever techniques we've developed over the last couple years is a solution referred to as, Capital Gains, Split Dollar. We simply have a client with an appreciated business have the buyer put the money in a trust for the benefit of our seller, our client, and when the buyer puts the money in the trust they receive a Split Dollar Agreement, so there's no current tax on the transaction. Moreover, if the client invests the money in the trust tax efficiently, there's only a very small tax, and the wealth grows tax efficiently, so the client can then borrow it out with tax-free loans throughout his or her lifetime, and know that the balance will pass tax-free to the children. And, when you look at the benefits of that type of Capital Gains, Split Dollar solution, you see that the client literally can have two, three, four times more wealth as opposed to just selling a business in a taxable transaction.
