Does E&O Cover Intellectual Property Infringement?

Possibly, if the infringement claim arises from covered professional services and no IP exclusion applies; E&O is not broad IP protection.

The policy’s service definition and intellectual-property exclusion determine whether the claim fits.

Check whether the specific allegation qualifies for defense or payment, plus claims-made reporting rules, retroactive date, limits, retention, and consent terms. Compare the E&O and IP forms if both may apply.
