Intellectual Property Risk Management for Insurers & Brokers
Reduce IP Risk Before It Becomes a Claim
Our ecommerce brand protection platform detects potential intellectual property infringements across online marketplaces and ecommerce sites, helping businesses identify and act on counterfeit products, copyright infringement, design infringement and trademark misuse.
By partnering with IP Moat, insurers and brokers can add proactive IP risk management to their offering, helping assess exposure before cover is placed, identify infringement during the policy period and resolve eligible ecommerce infringements before costs escalate.
Assessment
Understanding how intellectual property is already being infringed online can provide valuable additional context when assessing a prospective policyholder.
IP Moat can carry out an ecommerce IP audit before a policy is priced or placed. We identify potential infringements affecting the client's IP portfolio and provide the findings back to the insurer or broker.
Mitigation
IP infringement can become substantially more expensive when it is allowed to continue unchecked.
IP Moat continuously monitors ecommerce channels for potential misuse of a client's intellectual property. When infringements are identified, clients can take action through the platform to pursue removal before the issue grows into a larger commercial or legal dispute.
Claim Reduction
Not every IP infringement needs to begin with expensive legal proceedings.
Where a claim or reported incident relates to infringing ecommerce listings, IP Moat can act as an early response. Our platform helps identify the offending listings and supports enforcement of the brand's intellectual property rights through marketplace and ecommerce reporting processes.
A Practical Addition to IP Insurance
Insurance provides financial protection when intellectual property disputes occur. IP Moat provides the technology and processes to identify ecommerce infringement earlier and, where appropriate, resolve it before the issue develops into a costly dispute.
A partnership can support the insurance lifecycle from pre-policy assessment, through ongoing monitoring and mitigation, to first-response enforcement when an ecommerce infringement occurs.
Partnership Options
We can work with insurers and brokers in several ways:
Pre-policy IP audits to provide additional information during underwriting.
Policyholder monitoring programmes offering ongoing ecommerce brand protection as a policy benefit or optional service.
Claims support providing a cost-effective first response to eligible ecommerce infringement cases.
Renewal reporting showing infringement activity and enforcement undertaken during the policy period.
Broker referral programmes giving clients access to specialist ecommerce IP monitoring and enforcement.
