Trademark Policy

Trademark and Logo Policy

Introduction

At Import Export Auto Parts, we uphold the highest standards of integrity and transparency in all our business dealings. This Trademark and Logo Policy details our practices concerning the use of trademarks and logos and affirms our status as an independent reseller of genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts.

Our Independence

Import Export Auto Parts is a solely independent entity and has no affiliation, association, authorization, endorsement, or official connection with any of the manufacturers of the items we sell. Our distinctive branding and logo underscore our independence and help customers easily identify our services.

Use of Trademarks in Product Listings

We use trademarked names on our website solely for nominative purposes. This practice is guided by the legal doctrine known as "nominative fair use," which allows us to use the trademarked names to accurately describe the products we sell without suggesting any affiliation with the trademark owners. This ensures clarity for our customers about the authenticity and origin of the parts they purchase from us. For further information on nominative fair use, please visit Nominative Fair Use Doctrine.

Legal Precedents and Compliance

Our adherence to trademark laws is informed by key U.S. Supreme Court decisions, including KP Permanent Make-Up, Inc. v. Lasting Impression I, Inc., 543 U.S. 111 (2004), which clarifies the scope of the fair use defense in trademark law. We ensure that our use of trademarked names complies with all applicable international intellectual property laws and reflects the guidelines established by these rulings.

Product Authenticity and Transparency

All items listed on our website are authentic OEM parts. We maintain detailed records and original invoices for these products to substantiate their authenticity upon request. Our commitment to transparency assures that customers receive genuine products, accurately represented without any misleading information.

Intellectual Property Rights

Import Export Auto Parts respects the intellectual property rights of others and diligently enforces its own rights. Our proprietary logo and brand identity are used consistently across all platforms to signify our unique market presence and to distinguish our services from those of others.
