Summary/Abstract: Currently, securities securitized with intellectual property is a relatively small global market , and in Bulgaria it is undeveloped. As a higher and safer volume of cash flow generates a certain asset, the more there are opportunities for its successful securitization It is enough for the future periodic payments from transactions with intellectual property to be available. The actuality of such research is predetermined by the fact that funding based on the objects of intellectual property attracts the attention of a wider range of researchers and /practitioners worldwide. Both multinational companies and SMEs are beginning to benefit from the value of their intellectual property in exchange for the receipt of current resources. The rights on intellectual property objects should be viewed not only as a item in the company balance sheet, but also as an important source of funding. Moreover, the proper management of intellectual property certainly could increase the value of the company – via correct marketing and investment decisions. Purchase and sales, pledging, licensing and franchising are traditional deals with objects of intellectual property, while we consider the securitization as their contemporary alternative. The aim of this article is to offer a theoretical interpretation and to adapt a model for the process of securitization of intellectual property objects.
