Has your account been suspended or did they just hit you with the violation?
Patent infringements usually sit on your account for 180 days.

Hi there @Seller_JFcCURr3x5HQe,
I hope this finds you well!
I understand you have recently received a patent infringement complaint and are wondering how to address the violation.
A patent is a form of legal protection for inventions. An issued patent grants its owner the right to exclude others from making, using, offering to sell, selling, or importing the invention into the United States for a fixed number of years. There are two types of patents, which are utility and design patents.
You will have to provide evidence that your product does not infringe on the patent number provided or that the patent provided is invalid.
Do you happen to have any patent or information for your product to show it is not infringing or has its own patent?
I am going to forward your information to the Account Health Support team so they may further look into your account and the issue. Please make sure your contact information is up-to-date as they may reach out.
Please do not hesitate to provide updates to this thread as the forums community and I are here to support you.
All the best,
Stevie
