What is Advertising Injury Exclusion | Insurance glossary by upcover

This exclusion applies when claims arise from advertising or marketing activities that harm others’ reputation or intellectual property rights. For instance, if a tradie uses another company’s logo in promotions without permission, the insurer won’t pay related costs. Linked term: see Intellectual Property Exclusion. Why it matters: It clarifies that liability cover protects physical injury and damage, not advertising disputes.
