Large prime contractors demand technical files (CAD drawings, BOMs, process specs, failure-analysis docs) from small suppliers as a condition of getting on the order book, then duplicate the designs in-house or hand them to a competing supplier.

The pattern shows up in different jurisdictions with country-specific deadlines, fines and vendor ecosystems — but operators face the same underlying squeeze. Filter by country or industry above.
