Upper limit of intellectual property investment ratio

Legal analysis: In the new company law, the restriction on the proportion of intellectual property investment has been removed. Paragraph 2 of Article 24 of the old Company Law stipulates that the amount of capital contribution with industrial property rights and non-patented technology at a fixed price shall not exceed 20% of the registered capital of the company, unless the state has special provisions on the adoption of high-tech achievements. Now it is necessary to carry out valuation, go through relevant procedures and invest in intellectual property rights.

Legal basis: Article 27 of the Company Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), shareholders can make capital contributions in cash or in kind, intellectual property rights, land use rights and other non-monetary properties that can be valued in money and transferred according to law. However, except for the property that cannot be used as capital contribution as stipulated by laws and administrative regulations. Non-monetary property as capital contribution shall be evaluated and verified, and its value shall not be overestimated or underestimated. Where there are provisions in laws and administrative regulations on evaluation and pricing, those provisions shall prevail.
