PATENT SECURITIZATION
• A new financial product: a new option for investors to broaden options for their investment portfolios.
•A simplified asset: investors only need to focus on the securitized patent, patent pool or royalty stream; there is less need to worry about the credit record, financial performance, operation or management of the IP owner.
•An asset with a risk management mechanism: the system provides a vehicle that shields the IP assets which have been securitized from the bankruptcy of the IP owner. The securitized IP is isolated from the owner, and there is a credit- enhancement mechanism.

General public
Benefits of the funding from Securitization
•Tax free: investment not income •Bigger amount comparing to loan: •Evaluated based not only on current but also future value •IP owner can still retain the right after the completion of securitization •Goof for start up or independent inventor not to losing all the right •Credit enhancement mechanism for better chance for success • Many purposes rather than just fund raising:
•prior launch promotion, •seeking for strategic allience, •dilution of the weakness from the inventor, •protection of investor (special purpose vehicle, bankruptcy remote control mechanism, risk management mechanism….
Traditional Loan process
Securitization process
Mortgages are resold to the investment banks, then repackaged for selling to general public
When investment banks receive the payment from debtors, then the general public will be paid back with
interest based on their contract
Investment Bank paid professional agency to evaluate the securitized assets
If the situation got worse, the insurance company will pay back
Insurances were bought for risk management of the securitized assets
REVIEWING THE VALUE OF IP 1. Understand IP: learn how this IP is different from other existing IP in the market. 2. Who are the current and future competing companies? 3. Where are the current and possibly future competing technologies? 4. How does the IP specifically add value? 5. What are the unmet market demands? 6. How to assess IP strength: How powerful is this IP compared to the existed IPs? 7. What is the possibility of invalidation by competitors? 8. How expansive is this particular IP, comparing to competing technologies, is it a
major advancement or minor adjustment? 9. Quality issues regarding how broad are the Patent claims. 10. Coverage of this IP regarding jurisdiction and where this IP is applicable. 11. What is the life cycle of this IP current stage? 12. Are there any policy government rules or political risks associated with the IP? 13. Identifying the market for IP: What is the market for the technical domain in the
specific jurisdiction. 14. What is the growth trend of the market? 15. What is the lifecycle of the IP? 16. Sensitivity of the estimations used in the model.
IP securitisation in Taiwan & China Patent as pledge In Taiwan, though under the policy – “Intellectual Property
Rights pledge for fund raising” in 2011 by Taiwan Economic Affairs, there is not much progress due to the lack of mature evaluation mechanism for IP and open/transparnt database for IP exchange information. Legislation on Patent securitization can be a motivation for future promotion.
However, in China, IP securitization is promising with government full support. China State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) started patent securitization promotion from 2008, urged government banks to cooperate and support industry. There are 3399 items undergone IP securitization till 2012, the value is over 25 billion US dollars, with over 74% growth rate based on capital size.
HuNan IP office further announce the guideline of IP implementation and Patent securitization promotion, request JiaoTung Bank, ChangSha Bank and ChoShan Bank to provide funding for IP securitisation. http://news.sina.com.tw/article/20130426/9482118.html
Current progress on IP securitisation in China
China Policy support In 2010, SIPO announced the regulation for IP Securitization registration
system In 2012, there are over 6 provinces announced local regulation and
policies to promote IP pledge for fund raising. In 2012, there are 22 regions in china to implement IP pledge for fund
raising and IP investment services. Mar. 2013, SIPO coordinated with Bank Monitoring committee, National
Industry and Business Bureau and National Copyright office to announce the “guideline for IP Pledge in Business Bank”, under Bank monitoring document no 2013-6.
Trial Models Securitization on patent Securitization on patent combined with company share Securitization on patent combined with other assets
Current progress on IP securitisation in China Insurance
Dec 2011, SIPO authorise “China People Insurance company” to start IP insurance promotion and implementation.
Apr 2012, “IP execution insurance” was launched. BeiJing Zhuang-Guang-Tusn中關村 area is the trial area for 3 years.
In 2013, there are 20 area started the second trial period of IP insurance. ZhenChiang 鎮江 area achieved 107 cases to proof the success for future IP pledge promotion.
China Patent Analysis and Operation menu ware completed by China Technology Exchange institute, with the hope to be the world standard.
Country Strategy : SIPO signed agreement in 2011 with Business Bank, such as JiaoTong Bank to promote IP securitization, soon followed by local governments and many banks
June 2011, ChangSha fund the first IP investment and Pledge service union to support innovation and Ip implementation with convenient cash flow.
In 2012, there are more than 60 administration , technology and education organizations involved on IP securitization on agricultural technology.
More than 10 province, 5 independent economic area and 8 high tech parks are focus on supporting the IP with cash flow from Banks and investing agencies.
Current issues on IP Securitization in China Difficulties on pay back control from companies: Credit evaluation system
is not yet mature , therefore, the risk on credit evaluation is rather high Difficulties on monitoring during the securitization: inexperience on
monitoring and auditing of the whole implementation process realted to activities for IP securitization.
Insufficiency on IP evaluation: only 10 institutions with abilities to evaluate IP, demands are great but the servicers can not meet the needs.
Different from the developed countries- relatively smaller scale of capital but higher expanses on the prior securitization review process (credit evaluation, IP evaluation, securitization plan evaluation, technology evaluation, administration fee and servicer fees…etc,
securitization will create 10-30% cost higher than traditional loanwhich is normally 15% cost of traditional loan, and not much higher amount of capital received from securitization,
Banks in China are forced by government policy to pro IP securitization but limit the amount on each case which will hesitate IP securitization.
CASES STUDY
PATENT SECURITIZATION ON BIOMEDICAL PATENT CASES 1-1 BioPharma Royalty Trust with Bristol-Myers Squibb Co the licensee (BMS) will pay the royalties to the assignee on
the “Zerit ” patent (Yale University) during Aug., 2000; the credit totaled US$ 115 million,

PATENT SECURITIZATION ON BIOMEDICAL PATENT CASES 2-3
Positive new opportunity: In Jan. 2004, a portion of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center’s royalty interest in Neupogen/Neulasta added US$ 263 million into the bankruptcy-remote vehicle and made US$ 7 million dollar investment into Royal Pharma.
Before this transaction, the royalty assets were owned by offshore, owned by Royalty Pharma AG,
at closing, the assets were sold to an Irish Trust, a new formed bankruptcy-remote Delaware business trust established for the purposes of securitization.
Nine of drugs were launched in the market in 5 years, patents expire between 2005 to 2015, this portfolio generated US $ 4.4 billion in sales and about US$ 49
million in royalty and contingent payment rights for Royalty Pharma AG in a calendar year.
The licensees of the contingent payment rights are a diverse group of investment-grade companies.

PREPRO (Anti-biotics) Stabilized Allisureallicin has now been formulated into an active product for treat
digestive and gut disorders®. PrePro powdered capsules contain 270 mg. of Allisure®. 5 strain probiotics, digestive enzymes and Inulinâ„¢ immune stimulating enhancer. These products have shown great promise in eliminating symptoms of I.B.S. (irritable bowel syndrome), H-Pylori (helicobacter pylori), candidiasis, parasites and colitis.
In addition to the above AllisureÂshows highly significant activity against M.R.S.A. Methacillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. The mechanism of action of allicin may be due to inhibition of certain thiosulfinates with thiol groups. Allicin also displays extreme anti-viral activity.
Probiotics are a necessary part of optimal good health. PrePro is blended with probiotics and enzymes which are proteins that are broken down by stomach acid. This formula will aid with increased nutrient absorption. PrePro can help eliminate symptoms of indigestion, heartburn, reflux, diverticulitus, dysbiosis and provide increased digestive activity.
PrePro contains Allisure® allicin a formed stabilized Allicin extract. We are the only product that can GUARANTEE a 100% yield of active Allicin. NO transformation needs take place in your body unlike traditional garlic supplements. We DO NOT make false claims of Allicin POTENTIAL. Traditional garlic supplements are unlikely to produce any Allicin at all due to being inactivated by your own stomach acid. Allisure® has been proven by independent research to deliver results.
The quality of every batch is guaranteed using HPLC and a unique scientifically validated microbial assay that demonstrates every batch will KILL mutant drug resistant bacteria. (M.R.S.A.)
Here is the breakdown of Allimax PrePro:
Retavase is indicated for use in the management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in adults for the improvement of ventricular function following AMI, the reduction of the incidence of congestive heart failure, and the reduction of mortality associated with AMI. Treatment should be initiated as soon as possible after the onset of AMI symptoms.
Important Safety InformationBecause thrombolytic therapy increases the risk of bleeding, including internal bleeding (such as intracranial, retroperitoneal, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, or respiratory), Retavase should be used only in those patients for whom its use is indicated in the prescribing information (see "Indications" in the prescribing information). In addition, thrombolytic therapy increases the absolute risk of stroke, including hemorrhagic stroke, in patients of advanced age. Cholesterol embolism has been reported rarely in patients treated with thrombolytic agents. Coronary thrombolysis may result in arrhythmias associated with reperfusion (see "Warnings" in the prescribing information).

SECURITIZATION CASE 3 Cambridge Display Technologies (CDT) • http://www.cdtltd.co.uk/ • 1987 first patent filed (light-emitting polymers) • 1992 Cambridge co. created (seed) • 1996 First license agreements • 1997 US$ 10 million (series A) • 1999 US$ 133 m + US$ 16 m R&D • 2001 US$ 28 m (internal round) • 2004 NASDAQ flotation “OLED” (approx 150 employees) • July 2004 capital restructure of US$15 m in debt capital “CDT raised cash by collateralising its IP portfolio via a credit enhancement and
debt facility arranged through Lloyds TSB Bank and IPI Financial Services. In taking this route.
This case shown that it is possible for small companies with top-class intellectual property but few fixed assets to raise the money they need in order to grow. The CDT experience demonstrates that a strong IP portfolio not only can help a small or medium sized company operate successfully in a global market, it can also be a way into the financing so necessary for continued business growth.”

SECURITIZATION CASE 4 Eli Lilly’ Semagacest at for Alzheimer's Disease: Securitization
through famous service provider and law firm the mentioned medicine was under a process of US 300 million
dollars monetization through TPG-Axon Capital Management, LP and NovaQuest to pay Quintiles, a world class clinical trial organization for two candidate drugs’ clinical trial fees.
For the 300 million US dollar, TPG-Axon provided 90% of development fund while NovaQuest provided only 10 % of the funding, backed by royalties and mile stones fees from three of Lily’s Alzheimer’s drug candidates
17Aug 2010 on Eli Lily’s website:[1] “Lilly Halts Development of Semagacestat for Alzheimer's Disease Based on Preliminary Results of Phase III Clinical Trials”, including the one through securitization due to stopped clinical trial.
[1] Eli Lily’s official website news on 17 Aug., 2010, http://newsroom.lilly.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=499794
SECURITIZATION CASE 4 Eli Lilly is one of the top ten pharmaceutical companies, TPG-Axon Capital Management is a globally famous private hedge
fund-providing services to high net worth individuals, pension funds, and banking institutions, main interests in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, financial services, technology, energy, basic materials and retail.
NovaQuest is an unique value-added-resellers (VARs) and distributors, focused on small-to-medium enterprise customers to build upon company charter and improve experience for its customers, expertise involved in industrial equipment, life science, consumer goods, high-tech, ..etc.
After professional supervision and carful evaluation, biomedical product can still be out of market for unexpected medical outcome, even reached phase III trail (norally 95% success rate). This case demonstrated the needs for the complicated securitization mechanism, such as bankrupcy remote vehicals to resolve the unmet obligations and pooled assets security to provide higher guantees for buyer sides.
SECURITIZATION CASE 5 Securitization through litigated assets :Under Citigroup’s profound
knowledge for asset management and potential buyers assisted valuation, significant final interest was made and also created competition to expedite signing and closing. Emtricitabine (FTC) discovered and patented by Emory University , in 1996, licensed to Triangle Pharmaceuticals - later on, acquired by Gilead Sciences to complete development and market the product-approved by FDA on July 2, 2003.
FTC is a fluorinated version of lamivudine (3TC). FTC and 3TC are improved synthesis of BHC-189, which was licensed to
Burroughs Wellcome-later on acquired by Glaxo. Emory University filed a law suit against Glaxo, as Wellcome
