\"What<\/figure>\n

You spot a product on a marketplace that looks like yours. Same shape, same mechanism, even the same packaging angle. The seller is the factory you sent your design files to six months ago. The first instinct is to fire off an angry message or call a lawyer. Before you do, know that this is general education, not legal advice.<\/p>\n

Working With a Sourcing Partner<\/h2>\n

When you work with a sourcing partner like SourcingAll, the practical work gets handled. That includes supplier search and vetting before you commit, sample coordination while the design is refined, product development support when an idea becomes a manufacturable product, production monitoring during the run, quality inspection before shipment, and logistics coordination to get the goods to you.<\/p>\n
