Description

A Toll Manufacturing Agreement is an agreement between a company with a product design, or product idea, and a manufacturing company who will manufacture the product or parts of it. In addition to the design or idea, the company also provides the raw materials, or the component parts required to create the finished product. The manufacturer provides the skills, the labor, and the equipment necessary to make or complete the product. A toll manufacturing agreement protects the company with the product design from theft of trade secrets or intellectual property. It also prohibits the manufacturer from using the product design to compete against them. Finally, this agreement places restrictions on the manufacturer's employees and contractors in order to protect the trade secrets or intellectual property.
