The hard truth about your IP rights is that they are only as strong as they are defendable, and this defence comes at a cost. The average cost of legal representation and experts in UK Patent disputes is unlikely to be less than £350k, and in larger more complex commercial cases this increases to £1.25m.

IP insurance provides this protection paying the legal costs in either pursuing or defending your IP rights.
