California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 5 — Weights and MeasuresChapter 14 — Fuels and LubricantsArticle 14 — Passing OffSection 13561
This article does not prohibit any person from selling under his or her own trademarks, trade names, brands, or the words “no brand,” the product of any manufacturer if such person has first obtained the written authorization of the true manufacturer so to sell such product.
Notes
Allows a person to sell a manufacturer’s product under the seller’s own trademarks, trade names, brands, or the words “no brand” only after obtaining the true manufacturer’s written authorization. The provision therefore creates an authorization-based exception permitting rebranding that would otherwise implicate the article’s product-designation rules.
