What Is Patent Infringement Insurance?
Patent-defense coverage funds a defense against an infringement claim; enforcement coverage helps pursue someone using your patent.
The policy defines which patents, products, and territories qualify.
Check validity challenges, counterclaims, limits, retention, legal expenses, and insurer approval requirements. Keep the schedule current when your portfolio or products change.
