Drafting Scope and Exclusion Provisions for IP Infringement Claims

IP infringement indemnity provisions often receive heavy attention during contract negotiations, but the scope and exclusion language within them can significantly shift risk between the parties. A scope provision that is too broad may expose the indemnifying party to claims they never anticipated, while one that is too narrow may leave the indemnified party unprotected when disputes arise.

This practical webinar will examine how scope and exclusion provisions function within IP infringement indemnities and how careful drafting can prevent unintended liability. Through real-world contract examples, attendees will gain insight into how these provisions operate during negotiations and how they hold up when disputes occur.

Designed for paralegals and legal professionals who review or support contract drafting, this session will provide practical guidance for identifying risk and strengthening intellectual property indemnity language in commercial agreements.

What You’ll Learn:
• How to define the scope of IP infringement indemnity obligations
• Common exclusions, including modification, combination, and misuse carve-outs
• Key drafting differences when dealing with patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets
• How indemnity scope interacts with other contract provisions such as limitation of liability and representations and warranties
• Negotiation strategies from both the indemnifying and indemnified party perspectives
