What is patent insurance?

Patent insurance is a financial product designed to protect patent holders from the costs associated with defending their patents or pursuing legal action against patent infringers. It typically covers legal fees, damages, and settlement costs incurred during patent disputes. This insurance provides a safety net against the financial risks of patent litigation, encouraging innovation by offering reassurance to patent holders that their intellectual property is safeguarded.

Spotlight

Michael Brunero is coming up to his 10th anniversary at CFC and currently heads up the Tech, Media and IP department. So annoying is his trademark cackle that in his tenure at CFC he has moved around multiple teams from professions, to tech and media, cyber and management liability to give each a reprieve

from him. He originally hails from Wollongong Australia (‘The Gong’) where prior to working in insurance he worked in private legal practice working in both civil and criminal fields. Unsurprisingly, he has no regrets trading murderers for insurance agents.
