Intellectual Property
 

Intellectual Property is a key asset for any technology or pharmaceutical firm. Intellectual Property consists of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and trade dress. Some of these assets can be protected with insurance contracts, for example:

  • Patent Infringement may cover unauthorized manufacture, use or sale of an invention protected by a patent. For example: machinery, equipment, tools, toys, products, processes, drugs or software.
  • Copyright Infringement may cover unauthorized use of original work or copyrighted medium. For example: software, books, music, songs or poems.
  • Trade Secret Theft/Infringement may cover improper use or disclosure of information that provides or would have provided a business with a competitive advantage. For example: formulas, processes, techniques and strategies.
  • Trademark/Trade Dress Infringement may cover unauthorized use of a mark or trade dress. For example: symbols, slogans, expressions or packaging.
