Answer 1

Company A and B do not have the legal right to recreate and distribute the products without consulting C and D, as they all have joint intellectual property ownership. All companies involved have equal rights under the joint intellectual property, and therefore A and B's actions would impact C and D negatively as they are not being consulted or included in the decision-making process.
