Who Needs Intellectual Property Insurance?

IP litigation insurance may fund defense against a claim or enforcement of your rights; the two are separate coverage needs.

Legal defense and enforcement may be sold as separate options, and some products offer both under distinct grants.

Check whether counsel, experts, appeals, settlements, or damages are included and how costs reduce limits. Confirm which rights, products, and territories are scheduled.
