OEM partnerships (Original Equipment Manufacturing) enable foreign companies to manufacture their products in China. This often involves sharing confidential technologies, designs, and product details with Chinese partners. Without effective protection measures, there is a high risk that intellectual property (IP) could be copied, misused, or even patented by third parties.

Protecting IP rights in China presents unique challenges due to complex legal frameworks and regulatory requirements. A lack of IP protection can lead to trademark infringements, competitive disadvantages, and lengthy legal disputes.

CHINABRAND helps businesses safeguard their intellectual property in OEM partnerships by providing:

• Contract Drafting & Review: Development and verification of legally binding licensing agreements, NDAs, and IP protection clauses.
• IP Audits of OEM Partners: Evaluation of potential partners' IP compliance to mitigate risks.
• Legal Enforcement: Support in enforcing claims against OEM partners in cases of contract breaches and IP violations.

• Patent and Trademark Registration: Ensure all technologies, designs, and products are patented or trademarked before entering a partnership.
• Geographical Restrictions: Draft contracts with well-defined usage limitations to prevent unauthorized distribution.
• Regular IP Audits: Conduct ongoing compliance checks with OEM partners to identify risks early.
