# Does Media Liability Cover Trademark Infringement?

Some media forms cover trademark claims tied to media work, subject to advertising exclusions and the alleged use.

A separate false-advertising exception also applies to specified trademark allegations; another policy may differ.

Ask which grant and exclusion apply to the actual use of a mark, slogan, trade dress, or keyword. Check prior knowledge, territory, and defense costs in the issued wording.
