Intellectual Property Claims
In today's "Information Age," the need for protection against intellectual property claims has never been greater, particularly for claims arising out of the use of the internet. Internet commerce poses ever changing intellectual property risks that may or should be covered by insurance. Copyright, trade name, trademark, and patent infringement lawsuits have reached epidemic proportions, and the costs of defending such suits have skyrocketed.
