Chinese Internet Industry’s IP Financing: Opportunity and Possibility

摘要

The prominence of Intellectual Property (IP) assets in economic growth and corporate valuation has never been greater. For the technology-and innovation-driven Internet industry, IP financing plays an even more important role on raising funds for both start-ups and expansion. Yet we are failing to tap into the full potential of IP assets, especially as a financing tool. IP is major assets or even only assets of Internet companies, thus they are missing valuable sources of capital that could be used for business expansion and innovation.
