With an unprecedented number of digital health companies entering the market every month, it is becoming harder to create completely unique ideas, processes, and names to existing competitors. Companies can still be accused of breaching intellectual property (IP) rights despite having thought they created something unique, if an existing company alleges it is too similar to their own. Additionally, it’s very common for individuals from competitor companies to be headhunted and employed to lean on for experience and expertise, but it can lead to legal complications. If a competitor feels the individual has the potential to bring over ideas or trade secrets obtained from their previous employer, this can potentially lead to an intellectual property claim. Typically, traditional insurance policies do not extend to intellectual property claims, however CFC understands that this is a prevailing issue for digital health companies, so has included this cover as standard in the eHealth policy to protect insureds against claims of this nature.
