# Does Business Insurance Cover Intellectual Property?

Sometimes, for a claim covered by a specific policy grant; a business package does not automatically protect all IP rights.

General liability, media, cyber, or professional policies may cover specific claims; dedicated IP coverage may address others.

Identify the dispute or right you want protected and ask the broker to point to the exact coverage part, endorsement, and limit. Compare triggers, exclusions, defense costs, and how policies coordinate.
