The area of securitisation - or collateralisation in relation to debt finance - is of great and increasing importance at the present time. There are a number of pockets of finance where this is used in relation to Intellectual Property film finance for example but in general there is considerable reluctance to use IP as primary security in debt finance. This represents a considerable problem for many new and developing companies whose main asset is IP. This book examines the valuation and legal obstacles to the use of IP in a number of countries including the UK the USA France the Netherlands and Finland and the pros and cons of creating a successful IP security market.
