Personal
Daniele has pioneered new tools for clients to better manage their intellectual assets:
PATENT BOX
An Italian law initially introduced in 2015 and subsequently modified allows to companies to get tax benefits linked to costs born in activities of research and development destined to launch on the market new software, patents and designs.
However very few clients know how to maximize the benefit of this regulation.
Hence Daniele developed an innovative packaged service for clients, working closely together with the EY Tax team, to help optimize all the costs borne by companies through a full-scale re-evaluation of the intangible assets.
MASTER BOOK
Daniele has pioneered a procedure for the certification of know-how through an in-depth investigation which includes conducting interviews with the client’s key R&D staff, legal due diligence and quality controls. All documented and undocumented know-how can truly be uncovered and the correct protections applied.
The output of this work is a Master Book, a guide of all the owned know-how, certifying features in the production process as well as confidentiality measures of protection.
