To prevent technical information from leaking, a confidentiality agreement \u2013 a so-called Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) \u2013 is signed in advance. The drawings, CAD data and technical details are then provided to the supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At first glance, this appears to be a careful approach. However, one crucial gap remains: an NDA is merely a contract between the parties involved. It is not an intellectual property right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>What an NDA can do \u2013 and what it cannot<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An NDA requires the contractual partner to keep the information provided confidential. If the supplier breaches this obligation, contractual remedies may be available, in particular injunctive relief or damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is important. However, an NDA cannot replace a patent or utility model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, a confidentiality agreement generally only has effect between the contracting parties. If drawings or technical information are passed on by the supplier to a subcontractor or another third party, enforcement can become considerably more difficult. This is particularly problematic if a third party uses the information to manufacture or sell a competing product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also a practical problem of proof. If, two years later, an almost technically identical product appears on the market from another manufacturer, the mere similarity does not automatically prove that confidential information was disclosed. It may be necessary to establish how the information actually reached the competitor. In practice, this can be extremely difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The place of enforcement also matters. Which law applies? Which court has jurisdiction? And can a successful claim actually be enforced in the relevant country? In cross-border supply relationships in particular, these issues can involve considerable effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A patent or utility model works differently. Such an IP right can generally be enforced against anyone, regardless of whether the respective competitor has ever signed an NDA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The real risk: the filing date<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is, however, an even more important issue: the novelty of the invention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a general rule, a patent can only be granted for an invention that is still new at the relevant date. What matters, therefore, is what was already publicly available before the filing date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Confidentially providing a design to a supplier who is effectively bound by a confidentiality obligation does not automatically destroy novelty. The real risk arises if the supplier breaches the agreement by passing on the information, making the design available to third parties, offering corresponding products, or otherwise making the technical solution available to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the invention has become publicly available, that disclosure may prevent a later patent application from succeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is precisely where the weakness of an NDA becomes apparent: it is intended to prevent disclosure, but it cannot undo a disclosure once it has occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also another risk. If the supplier or another party files a patent or utility model application for the technical solution themselves, a costly dispute may arise over who is actually entitled to the invention. Legal remedies may be available against an unauthorised application, but such proceedings can be lengthy, expensive and, above all, heavily dependent on evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having your own earlier filing date puts you in a significantly stronger position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The right order: file first, disclose later<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From an IP perspective, the sequence is clear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em> 1. File first.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A patent or utility model application initially secures the filing date. During the subsequent twelve-month priority period, protection can then be extended to other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>2. Consider the country of manufacture.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If manufacturing takes place in China, for example, it should be assessed whether obtaining an IP right there would also be advisable. In addition to patents, a Chinese utility model may also be an attractive option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>3. Only then provide the technical documents.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NDA nevertheless remains important. In particular, it protects information that is not intended or suitable for patent protection, such as manufacturing parameters, tolerances, pricing calculations or supplier relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patents and NDAs therefore complement each other. The important point is to get the order right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If the documents have already been provided<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If drawings have already been sent to a supplier, this does not automatically mean that all options for patent protection have been lost. The key question is whether the information has actually become publicly available or remains subject to an effective confidentiality obligation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What can still be done also depends on the countries in which protection is sought. The situation should therefore be assessed as early as possible, and no further disclosures should be made until it has been clarified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An NDA does not replace an IP right. It obliges a contractual partner to maintain confidentiality, but it does not automatically provide protection against third parties and cannot reverse a public disclosure once it has occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone manufacturing abroad should therefore, wherever possible, secure a filing date first and only then provide detailed technical documents to the supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The practical rule is simple: file first, then manufacture.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An NDA protects confidential information, but it does not replace a patent or utility model.
