Our IP Policies
Our IP Insurance policies insure the legal costs of pursuing infringers, defending allegations of infringement (including damages) and challenges to the validity of IP. They also help satisfy contractual obligations to indemnify third parties.
Benefits of IP Insurance
Our IP insurance policies add real value by allowing decisive legal action to be taken from a position of strength, by acting as a deterrent against would be infringers and by giving comfort to licensees, lenders, and investors that value will not be lost if your intellectual property is challenged or stolen.
Our Prices
