I do 3D CAD work as a sideline. I get work mostly by referrals. Many of those I work with are concerned about protecting the work from being copied. If this work is done in India what remedies do they have if someone there starts producing this work without consent.

Hi duluthboat,

That's a common, legitimate concern of many clients. In addtion to an agreement signed to protect the data & rights of the client. They also have strict procedures to prevent unauthorized data access. I think it's rare though for a CAD company to mass produce the parts for profit.

Perhaps most comforting is that it's a US-owned company with headquarter in Pittsburgh. So, if they don't play by the rules, you can literally "get them" here in the US.
