Expected Outcome

One-on-One case analysis of IP asset securitization potential assessment

Securitization is a process wherein assets are turned into securities. However, financial institutions and banks do not accept IP as a collateral for accessing additional investment finances. Also, the practice of IP valuation, which is important for the commercialisation and the securitization of IP assets, is still not commonplace. Therefore, the securitization of IP assets leveraging the access to bank credit, convertible bonds, and other securities requires specialised support to validate (among others) the following aspects:
– The royalties’ streams providing cash-flows that can warrant the intellectual property securitization
– Identification of the milestones for the securitized IP (a specific stage of clinical trial or the development of a new functionality which implies the access to a brand-new market)
– The existence of cash-flows generated by new licensing for the securitized IP (that can substantially improve the rating during the periods of securitization)
– The mechanisms used in securitization to shield the asset from bankruptcy and the pooling of other collateral assets to provide greater security and guarantees for the buyer.
