# Is IP Insurance Relevant for Technology Companies?

Some policies cover trademark disputes, but the marks, products, territories, and defense or enforcement options must match your needs.

A competitor’s use of your mark and an accusation that your own product infringes a mark are different claims.

List the marks and markets you need protected. Check domains, online listings, affiliates, exclusions, limits, retention, and whether enforcement costs share the defense limit.
