Trademark Policy

Import Export Auto Parts – Trademark Policy

At Import Export Auto Parts, we respect intellectual property laws and follow fair-use practices. This Trademark Policy outlines how trademarks, logos, and brand names are referenced on our website and marketing materials.

Independent Business Status

Import Export Auto Parts is an independent reseller and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or authorized by any of the manufacturers whose parts we sell. We maintain our own brand identity and operate as a stand-alone company.

Use of Trademarks

We use trademarked names only to accurately describe the parts we sell, following the legal principle of nominative fair use. This allows us to reference original manufacturers so that customers understand compatibility and origin — without implying endorsement.

Example: We may reference "Ford", "Toyota", or "BMW" to describe OEM parts for those brands, but we are not affiliated with those companies.

Legal Basis

Our practices align with U.S. legal precedents, including the Supreme Court ruling in KP Permanent Make-Up, Inc. v. Lasting Impression I, Inc., 543 U.S. 111 (2004), which upholds fair use protections when trademarks are used truthfully and without confusion.

Transparency & Authenticity

We provide original invoices and sourcing documentation upon request to verify the authenticity of OEM parts. All products listed are genuine unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Use of Our Brand

The "Import Export Auto Parts" name, logo, and branding are our intellectual property and may not be copied, modified, or reused without written permission.
