Download as PDF rmajette on PROD1PC64 with PROPOSALS 54618 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 26, 2007 / Proposed Rules is a reportable transaction for A under paragraph (b)(7) of this section because A has the right to payment for another person’s use of the tax planning method that is the subject of the patent. The transaction is a reportable transaction for C under paragraph (b)(7) of this section, because C paid a fee to A for the legal right to use a tax planning method that C knew or had reason to know was the subject of a patent. A has participated in the transaction in the year in which A’s tax return reflects a tax benefit in relation to obtaining the patent or reflects income from C’s payment to A for the legal right to use the tax planning method that is the subject of the patent. C has participated in the transaction in the year in which C’s tax return reflects the deduction for any amount paid to A for the legal right to use the tax planning method that is the subject of the patent. C also participates in the transaction for any years for which any other tax benefit from the transaction is reflected on C’s tax return. Example 5. (i) A, an individual, is the employee of B, a corporation. A creates a tax planning method and applies for a U.S. patent but B pays the fee required under title 35 of the United States Code for A’s patent application. Pursuant to A’s employment contract with B, B holds all substantial rights to the patent. B’s tax return reflects a deduction for the amount paid in relation to obtaining the patent. (ii) A and B are patent holders under paragraph (b)(7)(ii)(C)(1) and (3) of this section, respectively. The transaction is not a reportable transaction for A under paragraph (b)(7) of this section because A does not have the right to payment for another person’s use of the tax planning method that is the subject of the patent. The transaction is a reportable transaction for B under paragraph (b)(7) of this section because B holds all substantial rights to the patent and has the right to payment for another person’s use of the tax planning method that is the subject of the patent. B has participated in the transaction in the year in which B’s tax return reflects a tax benefit in relation to obtaining the patent. B also participates in the transaction for any years for which B’s tax return reflects income from a payment received from another person for the use of the tax planning method that is the subject of the patent. Example 6. (i) Assume the facts as in Example 4, except that A agrees to license the patent to F, a financial institution. The license agreement between A and F provides that F may offer the tax planning method to its clients and if a client decides to use the tax planning method, F must pay A for each client’s use of the tax planning method. F offers the tax planning method to G who uses the tax planning method and knows or has reason to know it is the subject of a patent. F charges G for financial planning services and pays A for G’s use of the tax planning method. A’s tax return reflects income from the payment received from F. F’s tax return reflects income from the payment received from G, and G’s tax return reflects a deduction for the fees paid to F. (ii) F is a patent holder’s agent under paragraph (b)(7)(ii)(D) of this section because VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:45 Sep 25, 2007 Jkt 211001 F has the permission of the patent holder to offer for sale or exchange, to sell or exchange, or to market a tax planning method that is the subject of a patent. F also is a patent holder’s agent under paragraph (b)(7)(ii)(D) of this section because F receives (directly or indirectly) a fee in any amount for a tax planning method that is the subject of a patent for or on behalf of a patent holder. The transaction is a reportable transaction for both A and F under paragraph (b)(7) of this section because A and F each have the right to payment for another person’s use of the tax planning method that is the subject of the patent. The transaction is a reportable transaction for G under paragraph (b)(7) of this section because G paid a fee (directly or indirectly) to a patent holder or a patent holder’s agent for the legal right to use a tax planning method that G knew or had reason to know was the subject of the patent. A has participated in the transaction in the years in which A’s tax return reflects income from the payment received from F for G’s use of the tax planning method that is the subject of the patent. F has participated in the transaction in the years in which F’s tax return reflects income from the payment received from G for use of the tax planning method that is the subject of the patent. G has participated in the transaction in the years in which G’s tax return reflects a deduction for the fees paid to F. G also participates in the transaction for any years for which any other tax benefit from the transaction is reflected on G’s tax return. Example 7. Assume the same facts as in Example 4. J uses a tax planning method that is the same as the tax planning method that is the subject of A’s patent. J does not pay any fees to any patent holder or patent holder’s agent with respect to the tax planning method that is the subject of the patent. A sues J for infringement of the patent and J pays A an amount for damages. A’s tax return reflects as income the amounts for damages received from J. The transaction is not a reportable transaction for J under paragraph (b)(7) of this section because J did not pay any fees (as defined in paragraph (b)(7)(ii)(A) of this section) (directly or indirectly) to a patent holder or patent holder’s agent for the legal right to use a tax planning method that J knew or had reason to know was the subject of the patent. A has participated in a reportable transaction under paragraph (b)(7) of this section in the year in which A’s tax return reflects income from a payment (the amount received as an award for damages in a suit for damages for infringement of the patent) received from another person for the use of the tax planning method that is the subject of a patent. * * * * * (h) * * * (2) Patented transactions.
