Mold Ownership and Drawing Confidentiality in a Longsheng Equipment Order

Time: 2026-11-12 09:58:20.411

Ownership follows payment, stated in the order

The clean rule: the party that pays for the mould owns it, and the contract says so. The order should record the mould count, cavity numbers, the steel grade, the expected service life in shots, and that the moulds are marked for identification. When moulds are bought with the machine, the buyer owns them and may take them to another machine of compatible specification.

Product drawings and tool drawings are different rights

The buyer normally owns the product design and hands the maker only what is needed to build the tool. The maker owns the machine and tool drawings it created. The contract should state that product information stays confidential, is used only for the agreed tools, and that tool drawings are released to the owner of the moulds on request, because a mould without its drawings is hard to maintain elsewhere.

Spare parts and maintenance rights

The agreement should cover whether the mould owner may buy wear parts such as cutters, pins and seals from third parties, and whether the original maker retains any restriction. For buyers, the practical answer is to keep maintenance rights with the mould, not with any single machine.

Why this matters at purchase time

A buyer who settles these points orders with confidence: the moulds are assets, the drawings are protected, and neither the machine nor the maker can hold the product hostage in future negotiations.
