Data recorded in engineering lab notebooks will form the basis for product design and it will establish a legal record of conception and witnessing of technical innovation. Specific requirements regarding engineering lab notebooks are set forth in an engineering procedure. Compliance is essential, as these notebooks could serve as evidence in a legal action arising from patent disputes. All engineers involved in design and development activities will keep and maintain engineering lab notebooks. Each engineer will be respon- sible for the security of his or her notebooks. Engineering lab note- books will be restricted and confidential and will be treated as such.
