The Effect of Bankruptcy upon a Firm using Patents and Trademarks as Collateral

Abstract

The Bankruptcy Code sets forth an orderly process for the distribution of a debtor-in-bankruptcy\u27s assets. This process has the effect of altering many of the procedural and substantive rights and obligations of the debtor, as well as of the debtor\u27s creditors. Parties asserting a property interest in assets of a debtor in bankruptcy, however, must rely on nonbankruptcy law to determine the nature and extent of their property interests. The most commonly asserted interest by creditors involved in a bankruptcy are security interests
