3. What are the alternatives?

Your company spends millions of dollars developing its intellectual property, which includes confidential designs, logos, molds, specifications, trade secrets, technical, production, sales, and marketing information, as well as signs, labels, packages, wrappers, and ads. To remain competitive, you decide to shift the majority of production to overseas producers who have lower labor and raw material costs than domestic producers, thus reducing your overall production costs.

And what recourse will you have if the manufacturer violates this agreement?
