Brief summary: The primary objective of the study is to establish Bioequivalence (BE) of 2 different formulations of the 2 mg/24 hr (10 cm\^2) Rotigotine transdermal patches in Chinese subjects.

Detailed description: Bioequivalence will be concluded if the 90 % Confidence Intervals (CIs) for the ratio Treatment A/Treatment B are fully included in the acceptance range from 0.8-1.25 for AUC(0-t) and AUC, and within the acceptance range from 0.7 to 1.43 for Cmax.
