IP Insurance
IP insurance covers companies in claims where they are accused of infringement and lawsuits where others infringe upon their existing IP rights. This policy provides legal fees and offers enforcement coverage all in one fell swoop. In many IP litigation cases, the lawsuits prove frivolous; however, defense fees still drain companies dry frequently.
What IP Insurance Covers
Intellectual property insurance provides capital for legal expenses if you find yourself involved in covered IP litigation. In the case of defense policies, it helps pay for any judgment or settlement rendered against you. Enforcement policies let you work with the carrier to actually enforce your own patents. With the underwriters’ permission, you could sue the infringer and then be reimbursed for your legal costs.
Defense Coverage
For companies that could be accused of infringement. This provides money for defense costs and any judgments/settlements against you if you’re held liable for infringing on a patent, trademark, copyright or other forms of intellectual property.
Enforcement Coverage
For companies that own patents, copyrights and trademarks. This lets you go on the offensive with the help of your insurance carrier. With the underwriter’s approval, the policy will fund the litigation against the guilty party and allow you to recoup income you’ve lost as a result of the infringement.
Patent Insurance
Patent insurance is a type of intellectual property insurance coverage. An IP insurance policy can include coverage for patents, copyrights and other specific types of IP. The phrases “Intellectual Property insurance” and “Patent insurance” are sometimes used interchangeably, but not all IP insurance policies include coverage for patents.
