Take legal actions agains Customer, allowed?
by Seller_H1mB28ANckpPr
Amazon replied

Can I take legal actions against a customer as they have left a review stating my product is not authentic although it surely is and they have no evidence. I personally think they want to get the item for free.

Tried all the routes possible including sending them a message but nothing. Can I send a demand letter to their address ?

How to report hijackers?
by Seller_tDwtZbb7OqIMC
Amazon replied

After several complaints, Amazon Seller Support has done nothing but send automated replies from no-reply email addresses.

Is there any way to get them to at least investigate sellers who list on branded product detail pages and sell somewhat similar items with no original packaging, no product logos, incorrect sizes, and incorrect colors?

  • I am Brand registered
  • Test buy done and photos taken, although none of the Amazon forms have the option to include attachments.

Chagne brand name
by Seller_HJZZpg5GdazXj
Amazon replied

Hi @Seller_mIRnuhdx7l5sN

I have listed my product under the brand name Generic. I have tried to create cases to change the brand name but Amazon are stating that I can not rebrand a product. Nothing I have said so far has made a difference to the automated reply.

Can you please help me to update brand name, this will help me to analyse my product stats in brand section.

Registered Design Infringement
by Seller_4xXuKD9U7pPJy

Hi,

I’m looking for some advice. Our product B0DLLCB276 has been copied in product design, and our full listing copy has also been duplicated. We hold the UKIPO design rights for this product. We registered a Registered Design Infringement claim through the Brand Registry portal and it was accepted. The offending product B0FCG1TK3S is now active again and our online account shows that this was overturned at the appeal stage.

I am now in the process of instructing a solicitor as our escalation to this issue through the brand registry is being met with an automated rejection and I am unable to speak to anyone within the Infringement team. My question is, can I find out the exact reason that the appeal was granted in favour of the fake product? We hold the design rights for this product and it is a clear copy of our intellectual property, however Amazon are allowing the sale of this counterfeit product.

If anyone else has had a similar issue and can offer some advice, that would be great.

@Admin, what is the point in having a brand registry account and holding a UKIPO if Amazon will actively allow other sellers to infringe copyrighted work?

UK Brand Registry Rejected
by Seller_oaUDJINT1giYF

Hello Support Team. I'm looking for some help and advice.

My brand registry for my trademark has been rejected multiple times. I've tried appealing but was met with the following possible reasons below for rejection. (Case ID: 18072565321)

I've deep dived into each one for possibility and put comments below each reason. It seems I'm left with options a) or b) but I have not engaged in any activities that violate Brand Registry policies to my knowledge and accounts that I'm connected to also had no problems with having the trademarks connected in their respective markets.

a) your account was engaging in conduct that violates Brand Registry’s policies, such as, but not limited to, invalid notice submissions through our notice submission channels or tampering with the catalog;

b) your application or account is related to other Amazon accounts or brands that have violated Amazon or Brand Registry’s policies,

c) you are associated with one or more selling accounts as a primary owner and all of them have failed seller verification, -> I do have more than one selling account as primary owner, but all of them have no problems with identity verification and are active

d) inability to provide sufficient evidence of branding on products/packaging; -> when submitting this appeal, there was no proper field for me to submit my product packaging, but they were submitting in the initial application

e) you have a selling account that is de-activated, or -> my account and all connected accounts are not deactivated

f) your trademark application appears to be filed by a filing firm that may be violating US federal regulations and USPTO rules (explained below). -> I'm trying to file a UK connection, so I this does not apply to my case

Brand name maliciously change
by Seller_SR8sG6gGoY1XX
Amazon replied

Items I'm selling are not registred to my name an I'm only representative and someone changes the brand name without my permission. Now I have no option to send items FBA or make any changes. I've been trading over 6 years for now and it happens already 3-4 times. Very annoying and Amazon don't change it back.

Hello,

We've had a brand registry application (case id: 17876170571) rejected for the reason flagged below in bold.

I don't understand how we can have our trademark approved by the UK trademark office, however, Amazon still rejects it, and doesn't give any clear reason why outside the below (which is so vague).

This essentially stops us from being able to sell the product as we can't create A+, protect the brand etc.

From looking on forums, this appears to be a fairly common issue, and I believe that for newer brands, we need clear guidance on how to manage this as the Amazon flywheel relies on new products/brands being onboarded, and surely the point of us having to have an approved trademark with a relevant office (e.g. UK or EU ones) is done to ensure the authorities are happy our brands don't intellectually violate anyone else.

Please advise on the potential next steps here

@Seller_z3k8APxGfbQEK @Seller_j9Bd91CW3ZVpr @Seller_XUNeUuvrQDpgP

The reason given is 'we are unable to approve your Brand Registry application because the trademark on the application either violates the intellectual property rights of others and/or is highly likely to be confused by customers for an established brand.'

Thanks

Brand approval issues.
by Seller_VJWOX6ynG2Y1S
Amazon replied

Hi all,

I am a new seller and need some assistance on getting my brand approved. I first tried to get my brand approved and Amazon’s team responded that the brand needed to be permanently affixed on the product or packagings. To this I had to accrue some additional expense and ordered a stamp and tried again and then the team responded for the same brand name with the below msg.

During our review of your application, we have identified that the Brand Name you submitted **xyz** is misusing another Brand's intellectual property rights. To maintain a safe and trustworthy shopping experience, this Brand name cannot be approved for use on Amazon. In view of the aforementioned, we had to decline your application.

I see thousands of brands which are just strings of characters getting approved so it’s very confusing why this was not raised in the first round of review.

On checking the brand list of Amazon’s brands, the brand name I was applying for wasn’t registered so it’s quite confusing and not reliable especially for new sellers.

Any help on this would be appreciated as it’s honestly very frustrating.

Thanks
