Strategic intellectual property insurance solutions for businesses & dealmakers
The rewards of commercialising intellectual property have never been greater, and neither have the associated risks. Our goal is to help you and your clients remove the barriers to investing in innovation.
A specialist intellectual property team
We are a unique IP insurance specialist that has brought expertise, technology, and experience under one roof. We structure specialist insurance solutions to de-risk many scenarios, including M&A, IP licensing, product and service sales, product launches, overseas expansion, litigation, and many more.
Tailored insurance products for every problem
Bespoke products are important for when intellectual property risks are complex with potentially costly and disruptive outcomes. Our specialists have created products and solutions that are tailored to each and every type of intellectual property risk.
Our solution
Comprehensive IP Liability
Annually renewing policies providing cover for losses arising out of unknown infringement of any type of third-party IP right, including where a claim is made against a customer/partner. Additional covers can include legal expenses to pursue third-party infringers, title disputes, opposition costs, and more.
Identified IP Risk
One-off specialist policies designed to provide bespoke cover for losses arising out of known IP risks, such as suspected infringement identified in FTOs or clearance searches, gaps in chain of title, concerns about validity, suspected misappropriation of third-party IP, and many more.
IP Litigation
A range of products designed principally around helping parties bring strategic litigation. Support can include helping obtain litigation funding and providing after the event expenses insurance to cover disbursements and adverse costs orders. Covers are also available for events contingent on the outcome of litigation.
IP Finance
Your client may have significant value tied up in their IP portfolio and may wish to use it to obtain financing instead of dilutive forms of equity investment. Lenders will likely want to de-risk lending against IP assets by using a product known as IP collateral protection insurance, which protects them in the event of a loan default
M&A IP Solutions
Our M&A IP solutions have been designed from the ground up to be the best-in-class insurance solution for sellers and buyers of innovative and IP-rich businesses and bundles of IP assets, which require a specialist approach.
The solutions are tailored for sectors where IP is a key driver of high growth and value, including biopharma, deep tech, interactive entertainment and music, film, and TV.
