Our Founder, Robert Fletcher, wrote the first-ever IP Infringement Abatement insurance policy. As a chemical engineer, patent attorney and highly successful businessman, Bob began his IP career as patent counsel for Standard Oil. He then worked for companies such as GE, American Air Filter and Hilliard Lyons. His experience valuing and commercializing patented technologies for an investment banking firm set the stage for the development of an IP insurance company. IPISC, which was formed in 1990, was the first to offer the Infringement Abatement Insurance policy. In the years to come, Bob developed the Defense, Unauthorized Disclosure and Multi-Peril insurance policies. Bob continues to lead IPISC in the development of other insurance products and services.

With 20 years of experience, IPISC is a full service IP risk management firm. As the original architects of IP insurance, we provide insurance products and professional risk management services to help identify and reduce IP exposure and expense.  IPISC’s success is attributed to our ability to retain some of the best and brightest in the insurance industry.  Our highly educated and experienced team is the key factor in IPISC’s continued growth and success.  The cohesiveness of our team, along with the passion for what we do, truly sets us apart as industry leader, setting the standard in the IP insurance industry.
