Legal Aspects of Co‐makership

Abstract

The development of co‐makership in the UK raises important legal considerations as to the nature of the relationship between the parties concerned. These problems are discussed in detail and include competition law problems, contractual problems, confidentiality, industrial property ownership rights, product liability, and termination of the agreement and the settlement of disputes. The conclusions are that co‐makership does not present any insuperable legal problems, nor are these problems novel or difficult.
