INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT DEFENSE INSURANCE



The Defense policy reimburses litigation expenses to defend against charges of intellectual property infringement including the costs to assert patent invalidity as a defense, the cost of re-examination proceedings as a defense and past damages and/or settlement costs.

IP Covered under the Defense Policy:
US and worldwide coverage available. Includes making, using, selling, offering for sale, importing in commerce any product process or method of doing business

Advantages of holding the IP Defense Policy:
·        Prevents abandoning market share by timely and forceful defense of infringement charges
·        Prevents unexpected cash drain on operations
·        Provides litigation funds to optimize a favorable outcome
·        Deters frivolous suits by demonstrating the ability to be financially protected
·        Reduces the pressure to settle infringement cases because of mounting legal expenses
·        Makes a company more attractive to investors

Premiums
·        The premium will be approximately 2% of the limit purchased. For example, the premium for a $1,000,000 coverage limit at 2% would be $20,000 per year.
·        The cost will vary according to product and industry.
