Counterfeit
Amazon takes counterfeit complaints very seriously.
These claims typically occur when a brand owner alleges that you’re selling unauthorized or fake products. We assist in verifying your products’ authenticity, gathering supplier documentation, and either demanding complaint retractions or preparing strong appeals/ legal letters.
Copyright
These complaints generally involve unauthorized use
of creative works such as images or text. We review your listings for potential infringement, communicate with rights owners, and guide you through appeals or DMCA counter-notice processes when necessary.
Patent
Patent infringement claims can involve utility or design
patents. We assess the patent’s scope, determine if your product infringes, and assist you in responding, often through Amazon’s APEX resolution process.
Trademark
Trademark complaints arise when listings use protected brand names, logos, or slogans. We analyze the complaint, evaluate claims like fair use or unauthorized sales, and assist in resolving the issue through communication with rights owners or direct Amazon appeals.
