IP financing, using intellectual property to obtain capital or credit, is a noteworthy phenomenon: Chinese firms leveraged their patents to the tune of $4 billion of credit in 2013. Singapore is even looking to guarantee loans backed by intellectual property. Hedge funds are getting into the game too: Andrea Electronics used its patents as collateral when securing a loan from one fund. The company also agreed to pay the fund a portion of the revenues derived from its patents.
