IPR Insurance – Insurance for disputes involving intellectual property rights

IPR insurance protects you in disputes involving intellectual property rights. With such insurance, you reduce the risk of high costs if you need to pay legal fees, go to court, or provide compensation to defend assets such as patents, trademarks, or designs.

Why you should consider IPR insurance

Many businesses hesitate to register and protect their intellectual property because they fear the high costs of enforcing and defending their rights in the legal system.

Small and medium-sized enterprises, in particular, often need financial security to stand up to larger companies with the resources to pursue lengthy legal proceedings.

With IPR insurance, you can reduce the costs associated with disputes over patents, trademarks, or designs. The insurance makes it easier for your business to defend or assert its rights.

You can obtain IPR insurance through various Norwegian and international insurers. Many offer both customized solutions tailored to your business and standardized insurance packages for simpler needs.

Prices vary between providers and depend on which rights you wish to insure. To find the right solution for your business, you should request quotes from the relevant insurance providers.

The Norwegian Industrial Property Office does not offer IPR insurance

IPR insurance is an agreement between you as the customer and an insurance company.

The Norwegian Industrial Property Office does not offer IPR insurance and has no formal connection to such insurance arrangements. This means that the Norwegian Industrial Property Office is not responsible for the agreements you enter into with insurance providers or for the terms and conditions of any individual policy.

Have you made a plan for your assets?

Did you know that as much as 90 % of the assets in innovative companies can be intellectual property? It is therefore important that these values are managed correctly. A well-thought-out strategy is as important to commercial success as financing, marketing and sales.
