Dispute Summary
This case addressed whether a payment made by an assessee company for technical know-how and exclusive licenses to patents, trademarks, and designs from a foreign collaborator should be treated as capital or revenue expenditure. The assessee had paid Rs. 2,00,000 in shares/kind consideration for these rights. The Income Tax Department argued it was revenue expenditure, but the court ruled that since the payment acquired valuable IP assets (patents, trademarks) and technical know-how, it constituted a capital asset.
