Abstract

Supporting the intellectual property via the insurance coverage is one of the issues that was doubted by the insurance companies and patentees due to the intangibility of the property itself and the damages thereto. Nevertheless the high values of these assets and their importance in the portfolios of the manufacturing and trading companies has made the beneficiaries to insure themselves against the possible related risks. This effort was initially implemented limitedly in all-risk policies which focused on the coverage of intellectual property risks respecting insurance principles. However, improving the insurance techniques, calculations and changes in the legal doctrines, the special and modern policies have entered the market and this article, considering the historical path, introduces and analyzes the general and special policies in this regard to begin applying them in Iranian insurance industry.
