IP Insurance vs. Cyber Insurance: What Is the Difference?
Some IP products cover trade-secret claims, but defense and pursuit of a misappropriator may be separate grants.
The policy must identify the covered rights and activities.
Ask which claims, legal costs, and damages are included. Explain how you protect confidential information, and check exclusions involving employees, contractors, licenses, or prior knowledge.
