THE BUYING ANSWER
Start with a clear definition.
Identify the exact design elements, products and proposed commercial scope of the request. Exclusivity needs a separate written agreement; a custom logo or a sample discussion alone does not establish exclusive rights.
The decision behind the detail.
Broad exclusivity wording can hide disagreement about shared materials or standard components. Distinguish a unique artwork file from a commonly used fastening or fabric.
PREPARE ONLY WHAT IS RELEVANT
Three details to bring.
- Protected elements
- Describe the artwork, pattern or construction involved.
- Requested scope
- State the products, markets and period you want to discuss.
- Shared components
- Identify ordinary materials or trims used in the design.
Check together
- Ask the contracting parties to review the written scope.
- Confirm permission to use supplied third-party artwork.
- Keep exclusivity discussions separate from sample approval.
