Deactivation after Design Right Misuse Suspected IP Infringement
Hello, my account was deactivated 2 months ago after a design I had was flagged as "Suspected Intellectual Property Violations". I am a Print on Demand Seller, therefore I am able to put the same design on endless products without ever having a physical product. Printful, my printing company, prints each product on demand (as it is purchased). I have 150 ASINs of the same design that was flagged, therefore the amount of violations led to my account deactivation.
I have submitted at least 20, lengthy appeals and been denied each time. I have spoken with account health specialists for hours, getting new suggestions each time, much of which I have already done. I will attach the design here. I believe it was an error that the design was flagged, however I do not know how to prove that to them at this point. Should I hire a copyright attorney? I have inquired with copyright.gov to see how I can compare my design to their database. Please advise, getting very frustrated.
I would appreciate any feedback! Thanks!
