Not all intellectual property disputes involve competitors or new entrants into the market. Sometimes, the war is within; waged between shareholders and (former) business partners.
This seminar on intellectual property / intangible assets (IP/IA) in shareholder disputes casts a much-needed spotlight on cases where an essential part of the dispute has to do with the underlying brand /trademark, patent/technology, or some other valuable intangible asset. Even if dealings with the IP/IA by one of the shareholders, ownership of rights or infringement are not in issue, the value of the IP/IA may have an impact on share valuation.
Some examples of such disputes include Kiri v Senda (DyStar) (value of notional patent licence having an impact on share valuation for the purposes of a buyout order) and Ong Heng Chuan v Ong Teck Chuan (alleged sale of "Tong Garden" trade marks at undervalue).
Professor Tan Cheng-Han S.C. will kick off this session with a talk on IP/IA in shareholder disputes focusing on the provisions in the Companies Act. Prof Tan's talk will be followed a moderated panel discussion with two other practicing lawyers and an expert with experience in IP/IA valuation.
