Intellectual Property Insurance Ireland
Whether you work in life sciences, software development or manufacturing, there’s a good chance that your business will one day find itself defending claims of intellectual property, copyright or patent infringement.
Intellectual property insurance provides cover for the costs of these claims and loss of profits associated with the loss of IP rights.
With average patent lawsuits easily exceeding €1,000,000 per side, having the appropriate insurance in place could well be one of your most important assets, mitigating this significant financial risk.
IP protection allows you to defend your business efficiently and preserve its finances and reputation without unnecessarily affecting the bottom line – so your business can continue to operate while the claim is resolved.

What does IP insurance typically include?
Defence is the standard feature.
This covers legal defence fees and expenses if you inadvertently infringe someone else’s IP (e.g: plagiarism). A good IP solicitor may cost upwards of €500 per hour, and developments in communications technology mean that your infringement may be more easily identified.
IP cover also typically includes:
All Intellectual Property
Expert Legal Assistance
Defence Costs
Payment Of Damages
Contractual Indemnities & ‘Hold Harmless’ Undertakings
Loss of IP Right
Loss Mitigation Measures
Counter-Claims Cover
Product Recall
Loss of Profit
Investigation Costs
Reputation Management
Other features of this cover can include:
Pursuit Costs
This covers your legal expenses for pursuing people who infringe your own IP. It’s a “fighting fund” and is a separate purchase that can be added to your insurance portfolio.
Agreements
This covers the costs of pursuing or defending a case in which an existing IP exploitation agreement starts to go wrong.
