We are a manufacturer and supplier of hydraulic pumps in the aerospace industry.
We deliver our products with an EASA form 1 to Boeing and Airliners (spares).
I recently found out that a competitor has a PMA on two of our products.
The PMA is obtained under a license agreement with Boeing.
Does this mean they are copying our product? It seems that they use the same P/N, which indicates fit, form and function is not affected.
In that case, are they not violating our intellectual property??
If not, how can they use the PMA on a legal way?
Hopefully you can clarify this for us!
