OEM vs ODM Definitions
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): you design the product, factory manufactures to your specs. ODM (Original Design Manufacturer): factory has an existing design you rebrand. For drones, most "OEM" is actually ODM with customization — choose a factory with a proven platform and customize payload, firmware, and branding.

IP Protection & Contracts
File NDAs before sharing designs. Register trademarks and patents in target markets. Manufacturing agreement should specify: exclusivity (if any), tooling ownership, defect rates and RMA terms, spare parts supply (5+ years), and non-compete clauses.
