Who owns the mould for a custom soft lure?
Short answer
That is a contract term rather than a product property, and it has to be agreed in writing before the tooling is cut instead of assumed afterwards. It decides what happens if you later move the product to another factory, and whether a second buyer can be sold the same form.
In detail
We do not publish a house position on it because it is negotiated per order - what we do insist on is that the answer appears in the order documents and not only in an email thread.
