<h1>Local ODM partners with foreign electronics company to manufacture smart TVs using proprietary OS, addressing IP, licensing, compliance</h1> A domestic original design manufacturer of televisions has entered a manufacturing partnership with a foreign consumer electronics company to produce smart TVs locally using the foreign party's proprietary operating system. The agreement expands the domestic ODM's product offerings alongside its existing manufacturing for multiple third-party brands, aligns with national local-manufacturing incentives, and may involve licensing of software and branding, supply-chain and quality-control obligations, and regulatory compliance for electronics and consumer data. Contractual issues likely to arise include IP licensing terms, warranty and liability allocation, distribution rights, and adherence to local manufacturing and trade regulations.
