Intellectual property insurance is key to supporting your business when defending itself against claims of IP infringement, and can help you pursue those who are infringing on your patent, copyright or trademark.
Why do you need intellectual property insurance?
Intellectual property is an intangible business asset that often helps set companies apart from their competitors. Unfortunately, few businesses know precisely what their IP is worth, or how to protect it. Covering a wide range of areas from inventions and algorithms to products, manuscripts and design including a name, image, symbol or logo, intellectual property rights allow the original creator to apply for legal protection of their IP in the form of a patent, copyright or  trademark.  A claim of IP infringement can have a devastating impact on a firm’s finances and reputation. Protecting your business with IP insurance can help fund legal action against an infringer or defend a patent’s validity. Simply having IP insurance in place can be a powerful deterrent to any potential infringer.
Apart from helping protect what you already own, intellectual property insurance can also help your business grow. Allowing you to licence your idea to others can make your business attractive to potential investors, knowing your invention or unique idea can’t be stolen by someone else.
