What are the roles of enterprises in intellectual property evaluation?

With the improvement of the level of innovation and research and development and the needs of market strategic deployment, more and more industries and enterprises have also strengthened the importance of intellectual property rights and investment, and China's patent applications have increased sharply in recent years. For enterprises, the intellectual property evaluation with patent as the core is of great significance. After the enterprise applies for a patent, it will be evaluated by an authoritative institution and provide help for economic activities such as patent capital increase, financing and loan, patent achievement transfer and external rights protection.
First, patent evaluation can be used to increase patent capital.
Capital increase refers to the act of increasing the registered capital of an enterprise in order to expand the scale of operation, broaden the business and improve the company's credit rating according to law. The newly revised Company Law on January 1, 2006 clearly stipulates that intellectual property rights, physical goods, land use rights, etc., can be used as the registered capital of the company after being evaluated and valued by the national authoritative evaluation agency. Since then, intangible assets, including patent rights, proprietary technology, trademark rights, Copyrights, land use rights, trade secrets, etc., can be directly used for investment and financing, and the proportion of investment can reach 70%.

Second, patent evaluation can be used to finance loans.
Among technology-oriented enterprises, patents and other intangible assets can be fully capitalized during the operation of the enterprise, and the advanced nature and independence of its technology in the industry can be used as an important basis for attracting investment. The relevant laws of our country also provide that intangible assets such as patent and trademark rights can be used as collateral for loans in banks and other financial service institutions, which revitalizes a large number of intangible assets for enterprises.
Patent pledge financing has become a source of funds for enterprises, on the one hand, actively promote the independent innovation of enterprises, on the other hand, help enterprises to overcome financial difficulties, and win valuable time for patented products to open the market. Through the formulation of laws and regulations, the state legalizes the patent pledge financing and further standardizes the behavior of enterprise patent pledge financing. The pledge of patent right means that the debtor or a third party sets the pledge of its patent right in order to guarantee the realization of the creditor's right. In the case that the debtor does not perform or cannot perform the debt, the creditor takes the pledge patent right as the priority to be repaid.
Thirdly, patent evaluation is conducive to the transfer of patent achievements and external rights protection.
Patent evaluation provides a powerful value basis for the patentee to realize the R&D achievements, and clearly understands the capitalization value of patent achievements in the market. At the same time, it provides a professional claim value guarantee for patent owners and enterprises in external rights protection.
