WRIN TV Story About Cloud Computing

Discussion and confusion continue to reign when it comes to cloud computing (is that a pun?).  WRIN.TV brought some clarity to the topic and how coverage might apply.

I liked the idea that the interview questions went beyond insurance risks to include business risk.

The interview is here.

Intellectual Property and Media Liability Insurance Market Survey 2013 posted – some observations

April is the month in which I release our IP and Media Liability Market Survey, which focuses on the 2 lines that cover the various forms of Intellectual Property.  The free Executive Summary is here.  The full Report can be ordered from IRMI here.

The Report includes a discussion of the RPX RRG for patent infringement as well as adds the Euclid Media Liability product to the carriers we review.

This year I included an interview with Bob Fletcher of Intellectual Property Insurance Services; the interview focuses on the history of the coverage, marketing challenges, and how he sees its future.  Bob is the godfather of IP insurance and I am pleased to include his thoughts.

Your comments and suggestions are welcomed.

 

Intellectual Property insurance interview on WRIN.tv

You can see my most recent thinking on the topic of IP coverage and the market need on WRIN.tv by clicking here.  In case it isn’t obvious, this was a challenging interview, even though it was based on a Report I had just finished.  IP is a complex topic from an insurance standpoint.

Speaking of that Report – it is the April issue (Intellectual Property and Media Liability Insurance Market Survey 2013), which has now been posted at the  IRMI site (scroll down on the IRMI page and click on Intellectual Property and Media Liability link).

As always – feel free to let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
