information Corporate Insolvency: What Happens with the domains?

[NickB]

Just got the Sedo newsletter and found the below a decent read.....

"Businesses new and old are facing unprecedented challenges in 2020 and many have struggled staying solvent during these trying times, some are even taking the step to file for bankruptcy. While potentially tragic for the business, what happens to a company’s domain assets when they face insolvency?"

I wonder what happens to Trade Marks - specifically concerning domain names - when a business goes under?

If the TM's are not sold, are they de-registered or simply allowed to lapse?

How could this impact the purchase of said domain name by another party?
