The IP indemnification clause is a provision in a contract where one party agrees to compensate the other for any losses or damages resulting from third-party claims of intellectual property infringement. This ensures that the indemnifying party bears the financial responsibility if their products or services infringe on existing IP rights, protecting the other party from legal and financial liabilities.

IP Indemnification. Seller shall indemnify each of Buyer, its officers, directors and employees and those of Buyer’s Affiliates (the “Indemnitees”) on written demand in respect of the Indemnified Losses and shall take all steps necessary to defend any IPR Claim.
In this section:
“Indemnified Losses” means all losses, damages, costs, expenses and other liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable legal and other professional fees) incurred by or awarded against an Indemnitee in connection with an IPR Claim or that are agreed to be paid by an Indemnitee by way of settlement or compromise of an IPR Claim (provided that any such settlement or compromise either arises as a result of Buyer’s assumption of the defence of the IPR claim pursuant to Section 16.02 or is not prohibited by Section 16.04(b)); and
“IPR Claim” means any claim or action against an Indemnitee by any third party alleging that any IP Rights of Seller or Buyer’s right to use thereof or Buyer’s use or possession of the Products infringes the IP Rights of a third party.
IP indemnification refers to a contractual obligation where one party agrees to compensate another party for any losses or damages that arise from a claim of intellectual property (IP) infringement. This means that if a third party alleges that a product or service infringes on its IP rights, the indemnifying party covers the costs associated with defending against these claims, including legal fees and any settlement or judgment amounts.
When should I use IP indemnification?
IP indemnification should be used in contracts when:
You are obtaining a license to use intellectual property, such as software or technology, and want to protect yourself from potential third-party IP claims.
You are distributing or selling a product and want to ensure that your customers are safeguarded against IP infringement claims.
You are in a partnership or joint venture where there is a sharing or use of IP, and you want to outline responsibilities if IP claims arise.
Utilizing IP indemnification in these scenarios mitigates risk and clarifies obligations, thereby protecting your business from unforeseen IP disputes and financial liabilities.
How do I write IP indemnification?
Writing an IP indemnification clause involves clearly outlining the scope and obligations. Here is a basic structure:
Indemnification Clause:
“[Indemnifying Party] shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless [Indemnified Party] and its affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to any claim that the [Indemnified Party]’s use of [Product/Service] infringes upon any third party’s intellectual property rights. This indemnification obligation shall not apply to claims arising from modifications made by [Indemnified Party] or use of the [Product/Service] in combination with other products or services not provided by [Indemnifying Party].”
Make sure to define terms and include any exclusions or limitations specific to your agreement. Consulting legal counsel is recommended to tailor the language to your specific needs and jurisdiction.
Which contracts typically contain IP indemnification?
Contracts that commonly contain IP indemnification clauses include:
Software License Agreements: To protect the licensee from IP claims related to the software.
Technology Transfer Agreements: To cover liabilities related to transferred technologies.
Supply Agreements: To safeguard the buyer against third-party infringement claims on purchased goods.
Partnership or Joint Venture Agreements: To address IP liabilities shared among partners.
Service Agreements: Where services provided involve the use of intellectual property that might be at risk of infringement claims.
These clauses are essential for defining financial and legal responsibilities, reducing risks, and providing clarity on how IP claims will be managed between contracting parties.
