Banks care about patent collateral because it underpins their ability to offer competitive interest rates while adhering to regulatory mandates.
To maintain their loans' senior secured status, credit funds must ensure that the patent collateral securing their loans remains valid, unexpired, and properly owned by the pledgors.
Your clients believe their loan is secured. Impairments—such as lapses in maintenance fees, undisclosed assignments, or encumbrances— could jeopardize lenders’ secured position!
Your lenders expect the collateral you pledged to secure the loans—your patents—to actually exist, be properly owned, unexpired, and remain that way throughout the loan term.
For OCC examiners, Asset Quality and Management are key when reviewing the adequacy and oversight of loan collateral, including the proper securing and monitoring of patent-backed loans.
The SEC ensures due diligence over collateral and reported assets, including patents, through laws, regulations, and case law, verifying they are not expired and are properly owned by their pledgors as marketed.
