I worked at a company that payed out $700M in an IP dispute involving offshore entities (and worked for a while in an offshore entity, Monaco, though it's a different kind of 'offshore').

Edit: FYI your 'Bermuda' argument doesn't help make your point re: 'neutral ground IP law'. The reason companies exist 'offshore' is to avoid taxation and scrutiny, which is why they are there.



And I’ve worked for companies with extensive offshore arrangements, primarily for tax minimization and regulatory clarity. It sounds like a judge disputed your prior company’s issues!


" primarily for tax minimization and regulatory clarity"

--> primarily for tax and regulatory avoidance.
