Abstract

Intellectual property rights (IPRs), as capital goods are essential in determining the rate of innovation, nature of competitive advantage, and systemic stability of bankruptcy and insolvency regimes. Current research explores the complex interface between IPRs and the valuation of the assets for bankruptcy. IPRs are financial asset to as these are a necessary element to determines the extent of sustainability and rehabilitation prospects of negatively affected businesses. The specific functions of patents, trademarks, and copyrights are potentially critical factors defining the outcome of insolvency. The discussion highlights the IPR-secured financing trends, through which such intangible assets are availed as security to lending institutions, thus impacting the liquidity of banks and the course of insolvency resolutions. The long-term analysis of legal opportunities and difficulties involved in the statutory incorporation of IPRs based on the precedent, regulatory framework, and cross-jurisdictional practices exemplifies the consistent inability to realize a sufficient value of property, often prone to economic and technological changes. Protecting IPRs would serve as agents in the financial market macroeconomic stability by carefully managing intellectual property amid the turbulent financial markets. There is need to engage in greater utilization of IPRs in bankruptcy situations and call for the establishment of legal and economic frameworks that can enable the smooth entry of such assets into the economy.
