A financing loan mechanism of the “Small and Medium Business Credit Guarantee Fund” was introduced into the “National Bidding Sale for Patent Rights in Taiwan” held on September 6, 2004, assisting the successive bidder to reapply and commercialize the bidden patent. Such a mechanism creates a new channel of financing for patent and technology exchange in Taiwan. In this patent rights auction, the successive bidder obtains patent rights by means of “assignment”; in this way, the successive bidder can enjoy the technology exclusivity. In order to assist business entities in effectively reapplying and commercializing the bidden patent so as to accumulate patent advantages promptly, the “Small and Medium Business Credit Guarantee Fund” will provide the successive bidder with 50% to 80% of finance guarantee. The objective of the “Small and Medium Business Credit Guarantee Fund” is to provide credit guarantees to small and medium enterprises which are promising but short of collateral necessary for sustainable management and growth. This bidding sale is jointly initiated by Industrial Development Bureau under Ministry of Economic Affairs, Industrial Technology Research Institute, and Taiwan Technology Marketplace; 550 patents were for bidding in this activity, covering the patents in machinery, aerospace, communications, optoelectronics, materials, and chemical engineering, etc. (2004.08)CYJ/CCS
