Good morning to all,
for the realization of a prototype I need to make to realize various different suppliers details, so I am sending to each one the technical drawings of the pieces, which obviously are reserved.
How can I protect the designs?
Of course I know that in these cases there is no absolute certainty of protection, everything is to the intellectual honesty of the suppliers, but I would like to insert in the mails that I am sending a specific word for the confidentiality of the designs.
I thought I'd just write:"all attachments to this email message are reserved, and not disclosed without specific written consent".can it go well or can it do better?
Thank you.

ps: I hope I have posted in the correct section.
 
for the protection of confidential information between companies, confidentiality agreements can be drawn up (nda – non disclosure agreement), signed by the legal representatives of both parties, who commit the signatories to certain confidentiality obligations, for a period of time indicated in the document (usually a few years).
in the absence of this document, explaining the situation to him, you could ask the supplier to send a communication in which he undertakes not to disclose the information you are sharing, with reference to the codes or number of drawings related to the project.

as regards the indications on the tables, in addition to the wording inserted in the cartiglio, you could add a note “private document” inside the drawing area.
 
we have contracts of confidentiality with our business partners > nda.

then on the drawings there is also a copyright text etc.

100% guaranteed protection you will never have.
everything depends on the correctness of your interlocutor.

I would sign a sheet where it confirms that it will not disclose confidential information.
 
thank you all for the answers.
It is obvious that 100% protection does not exist, and I cannot even sign an agreement whenever I simply ask for a quote.
Unfortunately to ask for a quote companies want to see the drawings, then maybe it ends all in nothing but the drawings remain in the mail of the supplier.
 
but if the companies that interfere are always stalls, it is worth making him sign the agreement independent from the order.
just to be careful.

in the agreement you must mention in anticipation of future collaboration and data exchange.
That's all. do not go specifically to the pippo project.
 
for a first approach the drawings could lighten them sensitive details.... Is that an idea?
 
there are those who break the supply and delete the references of the contract.
You can have the main piece of elon rocket, but if you don't know where it fits, it's like you have the ironman heart design.
prototypes require separate management, such as inps contributions.
 
from us has just been undersigned a calendar to be able to see first the thumbnails of certain pieces, then of the photos "1:1" of not excellent quality, then of the general pdf drawings but with the most recognizable details, if not really reconstructable.
It's worth five years and I shouldn't even talk about the estimacy of this...
and only to evaluate a feasibility, we have not even arrived at estimates ( target price etc. unreachable).

years ago a large manufacturer of household appliances underwent the same kind of nda, but witty to the limits of the ridiculous only to be able to see the drawings: We have not even taken this into account, so many were the clauses to no avail in case of leakage of any information.

made to prepare a calendar for generic collaboration (present and future, of any aspect), as already suggested.
and written in Italian current, misunderstanding proof.
 
In fact, I broke the contract and removed from the cartiglio any reference to the name of the project, or whatever could trace the type of application.
It's about prototypes, there's patents, but patents are often useless.
