Professional Saver Public Liability Insurance for Licensing Consultants


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

Clients depend on your expertise as a licensing consultant to legally protect and profitably licence their intellectual property assets. However, mistakes can happen. Without insurance, just one error leading to a significant loss of licensing income or even cancellation of a valuable trademark could leave you facing substantial payouts.

Our public liability policies give you complete peace of mind that any disputes, financial losses, or other claims caused by your consultancy advice will be dealt with swiftly and professionally.

What Is Licensing Consultancy Insurance?

Licensing consultancy insurance protects professionals who provide advisory services to businesses on acquiring, managing, and maximising the value of trademarks, patents, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights. This covers:

  • Evaluating which IP registrations clients should apply for
  • Conducting due diligence on proposed licensing deals
  • Negotiating licensing agreements with external partners
  • Ongoing management of licensing programmes and licensee networks
  • Enforcing licence terms and IP protections when needed

However, licensing consultants face several risks, including:

  • Flawed advice on registering or commercialising IP assets
  • Oversight in licensee vetting
  • Ineffective negotiations or enforcement actions that negatively impact clients

These scenarios could lead to issues like loss of licensing revenue, brand damage, or even IP rights being revoked. Licensing consultancy insurance offers complete protection against claims made against your business as a result.

What Our Licensing Consultancy Insurance Covers:

Our licensing consultant policies can include the following:

Public Liability Insurance

This insurance covers any injury or property damage caused while visiting client offices, venues, and locations to assess branding, products, and IP protection needs. For example, you accidentally damage a piece of equipment or product prototype when inspecting it.

Professional Indemnity Insurance

An optional cover, professional indemnity insurance provides protection if your IP advice leads to financial loss for a client. For example, oversight in registering key trademarks internationally leads to a brand name being hijacked overseas by a third party. It would cover the resulting loss of income claims.

Legal Expenses Insurance

This insurance pays your legal costs and provides specialist legal advice and representation if you face civil claims alleging negligence or unfairness in your licensing consultancy work.

Business Equipment Insurance

An optional cover, business equipment insurance replaces items like laptops, tablet devices, cameras, and other equipment lost, stolen, or damaged when visiting client sites.

Licensing Consultants Cover for Contractors

We can extend your core licensing consultancy insurance policy to additionally protect any freelance IP researchers, law experts, negotiators, or other temporary staff you use to support clients. This provides coverage for personnel conducting work under your business identity.

FAQs

Licensing Consultancy Insurance FAQs

Licensing consultants are vulnerable to negligence and other claims because clients rely on their expertise to legally register, manage, and profitably licence intellectual property rights. Mistakes like overlooking trademarks or providing poor advice can lead to loss of licensing deals, brand damage, or even cancellation of IP registrations if unprotected against imitation.

We cover loss scenarios like:

  • Flawed guidance on registering a fashion brand name internationally leads to a UK trademark being hijacked and used without consent overseas once the clothing line expands into new markets. Our insurance would cover the loss of licensing income in this scenario.
  • Not thoroughly vetting a licensee leads to product quality issues that damage your client’s brand reputation. Our optional professional indemnity cover protects against such financial losses from damage to goodwill and lost revenue.

We cover liability risks from all core licensing consultancy work like:

  • Evaluating inventions and creative works for patenting and IP registration potential
  • Performing due diligence on licensing partners
  • Negotiating and drafting licensing agreements
  • Ongoing licence management and enforcement
  • IP asset valuation and portfolio optimisation

Essentially, most claims stemming from standard consultancy activities are covered.

Yes – our licensing consultancy insurance extends to cover any temporary personnel conducting work on your behalf, such as freelance researchers, law experts, negotiators, and other external consultants. They are protected against claims arising from their activities under your firm.
