Abstract

As a key component of intellectual property financing, trademark pledge financing has attracted much attention. However, the legal risks in its practice have gradually become prominent, and Zhejiang Province, a region with rapid development of trademark pledge financing, makes the legal risks in its related practices particularly worthy of exploration. This study analyzes the current practice of trademark pledge financing in Zhejiang Province, sorts out the existing legal risks, and explores risk avoidance paths in combination with regional development characteristics. The research finds that the legal risks of trademark pledge financing in Zhejiang Province are characterized by the interweaving of universality and regional particularity, which are difficult to eliminate completely, but some risks can be effectively avoided through the improvement of legal systems. Based on this, the study puts forward targeted suggestions for promoting the practice of trademark pledge financing in Zhejiang Province, providing a reference for optimizing the regional trademark pledge financing environment.
