Insuring Your Online Presence: Limitations on Social Media Coverage for Businesses

September 23, 2024
Geoffrey B. Fehling & Torrye Zullo - Hunton Insurance Recovery Blog

As social media continues to grow, businesses have turned to different platforms to promote their products. This advertising strategy can have unintended consequences, including copyright infringement claims, if businesses fail to take certain steps when sharing photos and videos to promote their product.

For example, many multinational music companies have filed lawsuits against brands for copyright infringement. Given the frequency of these claims, businesses may think that infringement and similar intellectual property claims are covered by their liability insurance policies. But that is not always the case.
