30 The Journal of Intellectual Property Vol.8 No.3 September 2013 IP Security Agreement, and Rights and Obligations of Relevant Parties Whon-Il Park Abstract In the Information Age, the intellectual property rights (IPRs) are increasingly important as collateral for financing. On the international scene, in 2007, UNCITRAL established the Legislative Guide on Secured Transactions. A few years later, after intensive discussions and deliberations, the Legislative Guide on Secured Transactions Supplement on Security Rights in Intellectual Property was adopted by UNCITRAL. In Korea, while the individual law provides for the collateralization of each IPR, a new Act on Security Interests in Movable Properties, Receivables, etc. stipulates special provisions on IPRs to facilitate financing for small and medium-sized enterprises. Nowadays, although the asset value of intellectual properties increases, a poor evaluation of such value has hampered active utilization of intellectual properties as collateral. A creative and adventurous method is necessary to take collateral of such assets as unpredictable IPRs which become easily obsolete and hard to maintain. The new Act has made a new type of security interest, apart from pledge or fiduciary transfer of title, on the IPRs being created by means of electronic registration. What kind of provisions with respect to IPRs should be contained in the security agreement? Such IPRs should be identifiable, and collateralization process and evaluation methods should be set forth with investment risk being appropriately mitigated, in particular, in case

The above-mentioned evaluation method should be modified to reflect the improved performance of such IPRs. In view of the current government policy to encourage the creative economy, innovative measures are expected to involve the public sector to conduct part of IPR valuation job or the financial institutions to bear lessor risk on IPR-based lending. Furthermore, asset-backed securitization of stable cash flows generating from IPRs or software/database e-market place could be considered to secure brisk transactions thereof.
