Abstract: Intellectual property asset title insurance and systems for providing title insurance for intellectual property assets are disclosed. A chain of title is determined for an intellectual property asset. An intellectual property title certificate is issued as verification or confirmation of the chain of title of the intellectual property asset. The invention is useful in transactions involving the buying, selling, transferring, valuation, borrowing against or securing credit with intellectual property assets. The intellectual property title certificate may be in paper or electronic form. A party involved in a transaction takes out an intellectual property title insurance policy prior to receiving the certificate. In some cases, for example, where the absolute chain is not determinable, the title certificate may reflect appropriate riders and exclusions, endorsements, conditions and gap coverage.
