I am the founder of Safeguard IP, the UK's only dedicated Intellectual Property (IP) Insurance Broker. I write and speak regularly on the topic and work with the UK Intellectual Property Office and other IP organisations to raise awareness of the important benefits of IP insurance. Intangible assets such as Patents, Trade Marks, Trade Secrets and Copyright are the conerstone of business value. However, the legal costs of enforcing these rights against infringers or defending allegations of infringement can be significant. SMEs often cannot afford to take such action leading to significant harm and many don’t bother registering their IP as a result. ‘What’s the point of having a patent or trade mark if I can’t afford to stop copycats?’ is a question often asked. IP Insurance mitigates this significant business risk by transferring the legal costs of IP litigation to an insurer which, in turn, gives comfort to right holders.Safeguard iP offers a wide range of affordable IP insurance solutions which include, amongst other things, coverage for pre-grant Patent and Trade Mark oppositions, actions in the UPC and IP contractual liabilities.
