Check what you promised your customers

Send your customer and licensing agreements. Spot finds the clauses that make you defend or reimburse someone else for an IP claim and asks whether each proposal fits those obligations.

Is Intellectual Property Insurance right for you?

  • Product companies built on patents

    A competitor can allege that a product you sell infringes its rights, and a defense quote has to name the products at issue.

  • Brands with valuable trademarks

    You may need to pursue copycats as much as defend against claims, and enforcement is a separate part of the cover.

  • Software and content businesses

    Copyrights you own sit alongside code, images and data you license from others, and the quote needs both described.

  • Companies indemnifying customers

    Your customer agreements promise to defend or reimburse buyers for IP claims, and that promise isn’t automatically insured.

  • Businesses selling abroad

    Disputes can arise wherever you sell or license, and the policy only reaches the territories and courts it lists.

When to get Intellectual Property Insurance

  • 01

    A large customer asks you to indemnify them

    The contract makes you responsible for IP claims against the buyer. Check whether the proposed coverage fits that promise before you sign.

  • 02

    You’re starting to sell in new countries

    Each new country is another place a dispute can arise. Compare the proposed territorial and jurisdictional scope with where you’ll sell.

  • 03

    You just licensed in key technology

    Rights you use under license need describing differently from rights you own. Update the submission so the quote matches.

  • 04

    You’ve found someone copying your work

    Check whether your policy includes enforcement, and what notice or consent it needs, before you hire counsel or start proceedings.

Intellectual Property Insurance questions

Also known as IP insurance, IP infringement insurance, patent insurance, patent infringement insurance, trademark infringement insurance and IP enforcement insurance.

Does defense coverage pay to enforce my rights?

Not unless the quote lists enforcement too. Defending a claim and pursuing a copier are different coverages, so Spot asks brokers for each part you need, in writing.

Does IP insurance pay damages as well as legal fees?

Not necessarily. Legal expenses, settlements or damages and enforcement costs can be separate selections. Spot checks each one in every proposal.

Will it cover disputes overseas?

Only where the policy’s territory and court jurisdictions reach. Spot compares them with the countries where you sell or license.

We already have cyber, media and tech E&O. Isn’t IP covered?

Each policy addresses its own set of rights and disputes, and a generic label doesn’t promise patent or enforcement coverage. Spot asks which IP allegations each one handles so the gaps are visible.

Our broker rarely places IP coverage. Can Spot still help?

Yes. Spot works with your existing broker and takes no commissions on premiums. If the placement needs a broker who knows IP insurers, you can move it to one.
