The Treatment of IP in Bankruptcy Proceeding

在过去的几十年里，知识产权在世界经济中发挥了重要作用。据说，当今世界上著名的领先企业所拥有的许多企业价值观都将由这些无形资产构成。虽然1992年世界领先企业的知识产权占资产价值的比例为6：4，但根据一定的数据，假设10年后变为4：6的比例。知识产权是当今最重要的财产，这是正确的.在这种情况下，破产程序中对知识产权的处理就显得极为重要。美国的知识产权法律制度主要有破产法和联邦政府的破产法。假设两者的冲突是现在的问题。知识产权法限制了知识产权转让的可能性，以加强企业家和发明人的统治或控制。另一方面，为了使可供债权人使用的资产价值最大化，在破产程序中使转让的可能性变得灵活。反思一下，在日本，企业破产时如何评估知识产权，如何出售知识产权，显然还没有得到很好的理解。

The intellectual property right came to play a major role in the world economy between several decades past. It is said that many of corporate values that a well-known leading company in the world possesses will be composed by those intangible assets today. It is assumed that it changed into the ratio of 4:6 the ten years later according to a certain data, though the proportion of the intellectual property right in the asset value was 6:4 in 1992 for the leading world enterprise. It is correct that the intellectual property right the most important property today. The treatment of the intellectual property right in the bankruptcy proceeding has become extremely important in such a situation. The bankruptcy law and the rule by the federal government exist to control the intellectual property right in the United States. It is assumed that the conflict of both of them is problems now. Intellectual Property Law limits the possibilities of transfer of the intellectual property right to strengthen the rule or control of the entrepreneur and the inventor. On the other hand, to maximize the asset value that can be used for the creditor, the transfer possibility is made flexible in the bankruptcy proceeding. On reflection, in Japan, it became clear that how to evaluate the intellectual property right when the enterprise goes bankrupt, and how to sell them, are not understood still well..
