IANAL, but as well as I know, when a company buys another company 
they get all the assets of that company.  That is, in legal terms, it
doesn't count as a "transfer".   (I believe that also applies to other
IP, such as e-mail address lists.  When a company says that they
don't sell their e-mail address list, as what about selling the
whole company?)
