Gordon Brothers: Collateralizing Corporate Loans by Brands
內容大綱
The case explores the collateralization of intellectual property in a loan agreement between a highly leveraged apparel company and a large US bank. Leveraging intangibles in the credit market is a new practice that has significantly grown over the past few years.
