Financing
Options
Few organizations appreciate the full
scope of flexibility available to them in terms of their trademarks, patents and
other intellectual property. One of the most overlooked areas is the value
of IP when used as collateral. Lenders, venture capitalists, investment
bankers and other sources of financing are increasingly likely to consider the
value of IP independent from the value of other assets on the firm's balance
sheet when performing their due diligence.
For
example, key
patents and well-known trademarks are being used to secure loans. Also, ongoing
royalty payments are being securitized in asset-backed debt instruments.
These are just two examples of the many options available to owners of valuable intangible
assets.
IPmetrics can help
you understand the value of your assets as used in this context and put you in
touch with the sources of financing that will best meet your specific needs.
