Transfer of intangible corporate assets to receiver for sale

If no property which may be seized and sold on execution shall be found within this State sufficient to pay the judgment, the court shall further order and adjudge that the corporation shall, within ten days after the service of notice of such judgment upon an officer of the corporation upon whom service of process may be lawfully made, or such notice as the court shall direct, assign and transfer to the trustee or receiver appointed by the court, any chose in action, or any patent or patents, or any assignment of, or license under any patented invention or inventions owned by, leased or licensed to or controlled in whole or in part by such corporation, to be sold by the receiver or trustee for the satisfaction of the judgment. No injunctive relief theretofore given nor any forfeiture of the charter of the corporation shall be held to exempt it from compliance with the order and judgment of the court.

If the corporation shall fail, within ten days after the service of notice of the judgment, to assign and transfer the same to such receiver or trustee for sale as aforesaid, the court shall appoint a trustee to make the assignment thereof, in the name and on behalf of the corporation, to the receiver or trustee appointed to make the sale.
