Excellent podcast on:

    IPISC specifically writes insurance policies to fund intellectual property litigation. We wrote the first Abatement (enforcement) policy 20 years ago, and also write a Defense Cost and Indemnification policy. IP insurance is our specialty. I invite you to check out our website at http://www.ipisc.com. We are also offering webinar training sessions.

    We would love to be involved in a podcast. We actually just did a joint webinar CLE session with a large law firm and insurance agency in Chicago discussing just this. We say, why try to put a square peg in a round hole when there is a coverage specifically designed to cover IP infringement.
