     On February 6, the Supreme Judicial Court heard oral argument in a case that will for the first time decide two important insurance coverage issues:  (1) what is the scope of CGL “personal and advertising injury” coverage for the “use of another’s advertising idea,” invasion of privacy or slogan for an intellectual property dispute and (2) do insurers have an equitable right to be reimbursed for defense costs that they voluntarily agreed to pay while litigating a DJ if a court ultimately rules that they never had a contractual duty to do so.   Michael Riseberg and Robert Ciociola, who argued the insurers’ position in the SJC, will discuss the history of the case, the oral argument on February 6 and its potential implications for the future of Massachusetts insurance coverage practice.
