INDEMNIFICATION RELATING TO INFRINGEMENT Clause Samples
The "Indemnification Relating to Infringement" clause requires one party to protect the other from losses or legal claims arising from allegations that a product, service, or intellectual property provided under the agreement infringes on a third party’s rights. Typically, this means that if a third party sues the customer for copyright, patent, or trademark infringement due to the use of the supplier’s deliverables, the supplier must cover legal costs, damages, and possibly provide remedies such as modifying the product. This clause is essential for allocating the risk of intellectual property disputes and ensuring that the party best positioned to manage infringement risks bears the associated costs.
