# Can Manufacturers Buy IP Insurance?

Manufacturers may need IP coverage for product, patent, brand, or design disputes when the quote includes their products and markets.

A component supplier and a private-label manufacturer can face different patent, brand, or design disputes.

Describe your product lines, suppliers, private-label goods, licenses, and sales territories. Confirm scheduled products and rights, defense and enforcement scope, limits, retention, and consent requirements.
