In the past, many companies had intellectual property rights, such as patents and utility models, that were not used in their businesses. However, there was no so-called patent trading market where intellectual property rights could be sold or purchased, and the patents were dormant without effective technology know-how. Even if you wanted to sell these unused rights, it was difficult to find a person who recognized and purchased the value. In particular, large companies with many intellectual property rights were required to sell the licensing rights of the rights that are not expected to be used for restructuring the business, etc., and allocate them to the main business funds.
