Background:

Pintura’s products are competitively priced and Pintura claims that its paint is a low-VOC green product.  

Pintura’s paint products would be exported from Mexico for resale and use in the United States.  PI is always looking for new products and is wants to learn more about Pintura and its products.

PI also wants to begin manufacturing its own line of paint supplies and wants to minimize manufacturing costs.  PI is interested in the possibility of Pintura manufacturing in its Mexico plant, a custom paint cleaner for PI according to PI’s specifications. PI would sell the paint cleaner under its own name in the US.

Your BCA supervisors, Pat Braden and Gale Roth, have given you the responsibility of researching and analyzing possible legal implications and potential risks and liabilities regarding the decision to enter into one or more contracts with Pintura.  You are to prepare a memorandum to Pat and Gale discussing these matters.

B.  Explain, in paragraph format,  why/how each category of information is important in preventing or minimizing potential liabilities for PI.
