Does General Liability Cover Intellectual Property?

No as broad protection. Standard CGL wording excludes many intellectual-property claims, with a narrow advertising-related exception. Coverage B’s narrow exception may apply to certain copyright, trade dress, or slogan infringement in an advertisement.

Identify the right and activity at issue, then check the actual exclusion, exception, and endorsements. Ask about dedicated IP or media liability coverage and compare covered claims, defense costs, and exclusions.
