Intellectual Property claims are newcomers to the legal world, but they have taken big bites out of well-established companies, sometimes even putting them under. Intellectual Property Defense Insurance is a specialized product offering protection against any charge or accusation of IP infringement.

IP charges are generally filed in response to instances of great similarity between different products, trademarks, brand names, or catchphrases. As the legal and civil code governing such cases is complex and convoluted, they tend to be long-running and expensive. Any established business is at risk; thus our specialized IP coverage could come in handy for anybody.

Don’t Learn about it the Difficult Way

There’s compelling evidence that you ought to hold IP Coverage:

  • D&O / Shareholders Insurance is a standard, but Intellectual Property claims are more common than Shareholder actions.
  • As Intellectual Property is valued quite high, you are highly unlikely to have adequate cash on hand, or even the power to borrow enough money to cover the costs.
  • The average cost of a major IP lawsuit can be well over $2,000,000.
  • Other policies specifically exclude Intellectual Property claims from coverage. This is particularly true with CGL policy, where infringement coverage is limited to advertising activity.

 

Features of IP Defense Coverage:

  • Automatic protection from surprise lawsuits
  • Large expense threshold assures that you’ll get the best representation available
  • Keeps your business’ money where it ought to be
  • Acts as a deterrent for potential claimants
  • Establishes a necessary new safety measure for any successful modern business

IP claims have grown to be so common that many businesses include coverage as a necessity for contracts with other businesses. It is seen as a major investment in your brand, product, company, and overall place in the market. IP coverage ought to be considered as essential to any comprehensive Business Continuity plan as well.
