Intellectual property complaints are on the rise. These types of complaints can be very tricky. Amazon’s policy is to honor and enforce trademarks in favor of the the trademark’s registered owner as listed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. But Amazon does not independently investigate intellectual property complaints. They simple do not have the manpower or desire to do so.
Most intellectual property complaints are without merit. A seller who simply resells genuine products is not engaging in trademark violation. Regardless, Amazon typically errs on the side of caution and suspends seller privileges without investigating the validity of intellectual property complaints.
Unfortunately the onus is on the seller. Amazon will provide you with the complainant’s contact information. It is then up to the seller to convince the complaining party that there is no trademark infringement and to seek a retraction of the complaint.
Amazon Suspension Lawyer will work with you to create a Plan of Action regardless of whether the complainant withdraws his complaint. This Plan of Action may state that the seller will no longer sell the product in question or it may also provide a mechanism for avoiding future intellectual property related complaints.
Sellers must also be aware of “Trademark Bullying.” This occurs when companies or “bullies” file baseless complaints against sellers to disrupt and interfere with their business. Don’t fall victim to Trademark Bullying. Reach out to Amazon Suspension Lawyer. We have the skill and expertise necessary to fight back against Trademark Bullies.
