[edit] Confusing and contradictory definitions
OEM may refer to a company that purchases for use in its own products a component made by a second company.[2] Under this definition, if Apple purchases optical drives from Toshiba to put in its computers, Apple is the OEM.
Contradictory usage
An even more confusing, contradictory definition is a company that sells the product of a second company under its own brand name.[3]
