LegalMark summary published on 11 October 2026.
The news.
In a news published on 9 October, the EPO reports of the intervention of its president at the IBEPI conference held in Madrid on 2 October 2026. The theme is financing supported by industrial property and intangible assets. The Office emphasizes the importance of quality securities, legal certainty, reliable information and credible evaluations for comparison with banks and investors.
LegalMark's reading.
For an enterprise, the first operational step is to make its portfolio readable: holder, territories, status of securities, deadlines and contractual relationships. A list of patents alone does not describe their use or connection with revenues, products and technological development. The preparation of the dossier can therefore anticipate the comparison with lenders or potential partners.
Questions to be brought to the company.
- What titles do the company’s products and projects support?
- Does the dossier distinguish questions, concessions and licences?
- Are they documented ownership, constraints and commercial uses?
