Frequently asked questions
What types of intellectual property does SORYN finance against?
SORYN structures transactions across patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. The firm targets assets with enforceable legal standing in established IP jurisdictions, including US and European patents, registered trademarks, and copyrighted content libraries where licensing revenue streams can be isolated and valued.
How does SORYN source deals?
Deal flow originates through relationships with IP law firms, corporate restructuring advisors, university tech transfer offices, and direct outreach to patent holders. Because IP-backed lending requires specialized legal underwriting, the firm's origination network is narrower and deeper than typical private credit shops — focused on intermediaries who understand the intersection of IP law and structured finance.
Does SORYN participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
SORYN focuses on direct origination — structuring bespoke financings secured by specific intellectual property portfolios. The firm has not publicly marketed pooled fund vehicles, operating instead through deal-by-deal capital deployment that gives investors direct exposure to identified IP collateral pools.
How does SORYN value and monitor intellectual property collateral?
Valuation combines legal enforceability analysis, licensing revenue assessments, comparable transaction data, and forward-looking commercialization estimates. Monitoring includes periodic IP portfolio audits, patent maintenance tracking, trademark renewal surveillance, and market-based reassessment of collateral value against outstanding exposure.
