What Is Patent Enforcement Insurance?

Patent-defense coverage responds to claims against you; enforcement coverage helps you pursue an alleged infringer.

It is separate from coverage to defend your business against an infringement suit.

Confirm which patents and products are covered, who approves a case, and how fees, counterclaims, appeals, and recoveries are treated. Get consent before sending a demand or filing suit.
