If you need to borrow money, you can pledge your patent or patent application, meaning use the patent as collateral for a loan.

If a patent application or patent has been pledged, the pledge agreement must be registered in the patent application diary and the patent register. The pledge rights begin when the written pledge agreement has been registered by PRV. After the registration, the person who filed the request for registration receives a confirmation of registration.
