We have taken this measure because we suspect your listing for this product infringes on the intellectual property of others

A friend got this today.

They never sent stock in ever for this ASIN, only joined the listing a few days ago.

Dear seller,

We have deactivated the listings shown at the bottom of this email.

Why is this happening?

We have taken this measure because we suspect your listing for this product infringes on the intellectual property of others. The product detail page for this product uses the protected trademark term of another rights owner. We have not been able to confirm that you are authorized to use this trademark on the product detail page. Unauthorized use of this trademark is likely to cause confusion as to the source, endorsement or affiliation of the goods. Infringement of a trademark is a violation of Amazon intellectual property policy: 亚马逊 登录

How to address the listing violation?

To address your listing violation, click ‘Edit’ next to each affected ASIN in the Suspected intellectual property violations section. The violation, along with the name of the brand that owns the trademark can be found under the “Reason” column on the Product policy compliance page on: https://sellercentral.amazon.ca/…/product-policies….

Your listing violation will be removed automatically within 8 hours if you submit to Amazon for review after editing it in one of the following ways:

Remove the trademarked term from the product detail page entirely, OR

Change the brand name to accurately reflect the product and match trademarked terms used on the product detail page OR

Update the detail page to add compatibility terms before the trademarked term, if the product is using the trademarked term to refer to another product, such as “charger for Kindle E-Reader”, “charger compatible with Kindle E-Reader” and “charger made for Kindle E-Reader.”

Note: There are legal requirements for the use of compatibility terms. You can learn more about these in the Amazon intellectual property policy: 亚马逊 登录

If you believe there has been an error, please submit an explanation through your Account Health page https://sellercentral.amazon.ca/…/product-policies… and follow the instructions provided. Your explanation should include the following information:

A letter of authorization or licensing agreement proving that you are authorized by the rights owner to create and list products using trademarked term in relation to your product. The documentation submitted must meet the following criteria:
The document includes name and address of rights owner.

The document explicitly authorizes you to make and list products using the rights owner’s trademark, under your own brand name.

An explanation and any evidence or documentation demonstrating how the listings do not violate our intellectual property policies.

If they have a listing for it delete it. If not, ignore it.

They listed it but never sent stock. The listing was later deleted, and since it’s not their listing, they can’t edit it. It’s also not visible in the dashboard, I’m told. Would you advise listing it again and editing it?

No. Check if it shows up under Account Health and dispute the IP complaint if it’s there. Do not accept it as your mistake.

Thanks, but if they accept it, does it go away, right?

Yes, but it counts against you.
