In this podcast, the consequences of insolvency procedures on intellectual property rights are discussed from a wide range of perspectives. The speaker provides an introduction to insolvency procedures in the UK, before examining what effect a company’s insolvency may have on a party holding IP rights in relation to that company. Consideration is given to the steps which such a party should take to protect its position. In addition, there is discussion of the practical implications of the insolvency of a company which co-owns IP rights, and of the acquisition of IP rights from a company while it is undergoing insolvency procedures. Finally, the impact of the EU Regulation on Insolvency and the more recently implemented UNCITRAL Model Law are considered.
