In many companies, intellectual property rights such as patents, trademarks and copyrights are located in the BV/company at risk. Something can also go wrong in your company, as a result of which your company unfortunately cannot keep its head above water. It would be a shame if all rights fell into the hands of the receiver, resulting in a loss of capital and making a relaunch unnecessarily difficult.

Therefore, it is usually wise to keep the rights outside the risk-bearing operating company and place them in a separate company (e.g., holding company or special IP company) or perhaps even keep them in private hands. Measures may be needed to make that happen.

It may also be wise to separate the rights from the operating company for other reasons, e.g., merger or acquisition.

Identification of rights present such as:
