Intellectual Property Infringement Insurance
Cover for creators facing copyright or trademark infringement claims.
Ideas and original content are valuable, and people are desperate to protect what they create. It’s no wonder that disagreements over intellectual property are becoming more common. What happens if someone accuses you of stealing ideas or content?
Intellectual Property Infringement Insurance helps creators if they are accused of using copyrighted or trademarked material without permission.
Creators regularly work with multiple creative elements such as music, video clips, graphics, photography and brand assets. Even when content is produced carefully, the risk of unintentionally infringing someone else’s intellectual property is higher than many realise.
There are many ways intellectual property claims can happen. For example, a rights holder might say that copyrighted music or footage was used without the right license. A company could claim their trademark or logo was used in the wrong way. Sometimes, creators are even accused of copying a creative idea or design.
These disputes can lead to legal action, and intellectual property cases often need specialist lawyers and complicated arguments. Even if a claim is not valid, defending it can still be expensive.
Intellectual property infringement insurance protects creators by covering legal defense costs and possible financial risks from these claims. Policies can include coverage for legal help, settlements, and compensation payments if needed.
As creators work more with brands and agencies, intellectual property rights become even more important in commercial projects. Issues with licensing, usage rights, or content ownership can lead to legal problems if there are misunderstandings.
At Base, we provide intellectual property insurance for creators, influencers and production professionals. Our policies are designed to reflect the realities of modern content production, where projects often involve multiple media assets and creative collaborations.
With the right protection, creators can focus on making original work and know their business is safe if any disputes come up.
