WIPO has issued a Guide to help inform of how intellectual property can support loan financing, prepare stakeholders for discussions with lending institutions, and provide information on the lending process, maximizing the value of intangible assets, and facilitating favorable loan financing terms.
This Guide also aims to assist with intellectual property issues of stakeholders’ assets and how these increase the value of a business.
Increased access to affordable capital allows businesses to invest in research, product development, production expansion, and other growth initiatives faster than ever before.
It is divided into four sections and each section contains explanations and templates to show the process of using the intellectual property of the stakeholders’ assets to secure a potential loan.
