IP Pledge financing helps to generate liquidity to counter the slowed development faced by many small enterprises in China. When covid-19 hit China’s economy, the country reacted by stimulating development through IP financing, the path for which was paved in 2019’s first intellectual property securitization deal, and later that year, the first patent securitization deal.

In recent weeks, the world was anxiously watching a 200,000 ton vessel blocking the Suez Canal, a historical passage for the global economy.  The probability of such an incident is very low, but yields large, detrimental impacts.  Attention soon shifted to the insurance coverage for such an unprecedented loss in global shipping history.

The world has been awed by China's rapid and robust growth in IP, but few recognize the primary driving force behind this phenomenon.

Recently, the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) released yearly statistics on IP in its 2021 Q1 press conference in Beijing.  All major statistics met expectations in 2020, indicating another step forward for China's IP system. *

As an important platform for structuring IP monetization deals, an IP Exchange may facilitate IP’s circulation and value finding. A survey by SpringIP on 30 State-owned exchanges and ten private exchanges in China reveals their challenges and opportunities in the coming new era.

Securitization is the jewel in the crown of IP monetization. In 2019, following the success of the first deal, the China market has seen more than 10 IP securitization deals, with accumulated proceeds exceeding CNY10 billion.
