Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The theme of this study is the use of intellectual property rights as collateral. Until now, a single intellectual property right has been the subject of a single collateral. Unlike this, this study sought a better direction by referring to the French system. French copyright law allows one copyright to be the subject of one collateral. In contrast, France have a different system. In other words, industrial property rights used in business activities are subject to a comprehensive collateral system together with the entire business property. Given this, if finance using intellectual property rights in Japan is to be promoted, it’s necessary to provide a system of collateral that is tailored to the type of intellectual property rights. In order to explore such diverse methods, we didn’t merely refer to the French system, but also focused on blockchain, which has been attracting attention in recent years. The contents of these studies have been published in conferences and papers.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
知的財産権の金融面における活用は、これまで権利毎に担保や信託を設定するか、または、知的財産権に基づき、関連事業を評価して(場合によっては)無担保で融資を行うこと(事業性評価融資)が提案されてきた。しかし、本研究は、知的財産権の種別毎に異なる資金提供・調達の手法を用いるべきとの結論を示すことで、この財産権を金融世界において活用促進する新たな方向性を示す学術的意義を有する。 同時に、一部の知的財産権については、ブロックチェーンを活用した資金提供・調達の手法も視野に入れることで、今後のデジタル社会に対応した知的財産権の金融面における活用手法をも提示し、この分野の新たな社会的進展をもたらす意義を有する。
