How to borrow intellectual property rights

Article 75 The Guarantee Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the following rights can be pledged:

(1) Bills of exchange, checks, promissory notes, bonds, certificates of deposit, warehouse receipts and bills of lading;

(2) Shares and stocks that can be transferred according to law;

(3) Trademark exclusive right, patent right and property right in copyright that can be transferred according to law;

(4) Other rights that can be pledged according to law.

Therefore, the pledge of trademark rights is a guarantee method based on the exclusive right to use registered trademarks. As a pledged trademark, the pledgor should be responsible for maintaining the value of the trademark. Therefore, the pledgor may continue to use the pledged trademark during the pledge period, and may permit others to use the registered trademark with the consent of the pledgee. Where the trademark right is pledged, the trademark licensor shall, when submitting the application for filing the license contract to the Trademark Office, attach the license document of the pledgee allowing the pledgor to license others to use the trademark, or the agreement signed by the pledgee and the pledgor allowing the pledgor to exercise the license right to use the trademark in a limited way. Otherwise, the trademark license contract will not be filed.
