In a recent landmark decision, the Supreme People’s Court (“SPC”) reversed the remarkable appeal decision in the Dongfeng trademark case about Original Equipment Manufacture (“OEM”). The SPC reiterates its view expressed in its November 2015 landmark ruling in the Pretul case, holding that branded products produced through OEM generally cannot infringe upon Chinese trademarks, as long as the goods are not put into commercial circulation within China, and are exported to the trademark owner abroad.
