Attorneys Bryan & Laney Advise U.S. Client on OEM Deal with Zhongshan Supplier

In April 2025, a U.S. company (referred to as “the Client”) sought to engage a factory in Zhongshan to manufacture smart toilet seat products. The Client required mass production based on the provided samples, which included designated trademarks and barcodes.

To expedite this transaction and reduce legal risks, the Client engaged the legal team led by Attorney Larry Zhou from LANDING (SHENZHEN) LAW OFFICE. They provided comprehensive legal support for the Client's OEM project with the Zhongshan factory.

Professional Approach to Client Needs

Attorney Bryan Zhang and Intern Lawyer Laney Liu adopted a rigorous and professional strategy. They sent the Client a detailed questionnaire that helped them understand the transaction background thoroughly. This approach enabled them to pinpoint the Client's needs effectively.

Beyond ensuring the factory manufactured and delivered products in compliance with the Client’s specifications, the top priority was to prevent the factory from plagiarizing or misusing the Client’s designs and products. This was crucial in avoiding unauthorized replication.

Bilingual Contract Drafting

Given the importance of protecting the Client's intellectual property, our legal team drafted a bilingual contract. This contract focused on several key provisions:

• Product Quality Standards: Ensuring that the manufactured products met specific quality benchmarks.

• Inspection: Establishing protocols for inspecting products before delivery.

• Product Delivery and Acceptance: Clearly defining the terms of how products would be delivered and accepted.

• Pricing and Payment Terms: Outlining the financial agreements between the parties.

• Intellectual Property Ownership: Protecting the rights of the Client in relation to their designs.

• Confidentiality Clauses: Securing sensitive information shared between both parties.

• Non-Compete Obligations: Preventing the factory from engaging in similar projects with competitors.

  
  

This comprehensive legal framework provided robust protection for the Client’s rights and laid a solid foundation for long-term cooperation between the Client and the Zhongshan factory.

Successful Agreement Execution

After several rounds of revisions and negotiations, both parties successfully executed the agreement. The clarity and thoroughness of the contract played a crucial role in avoiding any potential disputes down the line.

Client Satisfaction and Legal Expertise

The Client expressed high satisfaction with Attorney Larry Zhou’s team for their legal services. They commended not only their expertise in contract drafting but also their communication efficiency and attention to detail. The execution capabilities demonstrated by Attorney Zhou's team were particularly noteworthy, ensuring a smooth transaction process.
