Royalty & IP tax planningFind My Savings Estimate
A patent is an asset now — and most inventors hold it in their own name by default.
For newly-granted inventors & IP holders

Patent pending. Tax descending.

Licensing income, an R&D credit, a Section 174 question, an eventual sale — each is a tax decision your return doesn't make for you. We map the path before the first royalty check, not after.

Not in Illinois? Neither are most of our clients — we serve all 50 states.

We plan for newly-granted inventors and IP holders — USPTO grantees · licensing-income earners · startup founders with core IP · royalty recipients.

What we plan

The tax path of your invention, mapped

The USPTO recorded your name; your tax plan probably hasn't caught up. Here's what we structure the moment your patent becomes income.

IP Holding Structure
Move the patent out of your own name into a structure built for licensing and a future sale.
Betterthan own-name
R&D Credit & §174
Capture the research credit and handle the Section 174 capitalization question correctly.
Credit+ expensing
Royalty Income Planning
Structure how licensing income lands so it isn't taxed at the highest rate by default.
Lower-rateroyalties
Future IP Sale
Plan an eventual sale of the IP for capital-gains treatment — potentially QSBS-eligible.
Cap gainson sale
Before royalty
The structure is decided before the first check arrives, not at filing
R&D + sale
Where an inventor's return most often overpays
Audit-Ready
Every strategy is grounded in the IRS code and documented to withstand an audit — never loopholes
Who you'll work with

Sanjay Asija, CPA · MST

Founder of Asija CPA, Sanjay specializes in advanced tax planning for high-income individuals at a major taxable event — the strategies most CPAs never bring to the table.

“Most inventors hold the IP in their own name by default. There are almost always better structures — modeled before the first royalty, not after.”

Just granted? Let's map the tax path.

A free, no-obligation review — we'll map your IP against holding-structure, R&D-credit, and royalty strategies, and show you the projected savings.
