Intellectual Property Indemnification Clause Samples

The Intellectual Property Indemnification clause requires one party, typically the seller or service provider, to protect the other party from legal claims alleging infringement of intellectual property rights, such as patents, copyrights, or trademarks, arising from the use of the provided products or services. In practice, if a third party sues the buyer claiming that the purchased software infringes their copyright, the seller would be responsible for defending the claim and covering any resulting damages or costs. This clause is essential for allocating the risk of IP infringement, ensuring that the party best positioned to manage and mitigate such risks bears the responsibility, and providing reassurance to the buyer or licensee.
