Amazon Suspension News. Inauthentic Suspensions, Listing Violations, Trademark & Copyright

Today I have some really great news for sellers. The first breaking news story is that there has been a dramatic decrease in listing violation suspensions based upon your pricing. Last week we reported several times that we thought this was an end-run against the antitrust laws in the United States. That Amazon was now suspending you for pricing issues when it promised it would not require Amazon sellers to have the lowest prices on Amazon.

The number of restricted product suspensions is also down since about Thursday. What you need to know to make good business decisions is that the suspected intellectual property violations in your account health are not only live and active but now Amazon is requiring you to submit plans of action for these.

Well, now listings are going down left and right. You need to draft a plan of action to submit to Amazon. You need to try and get the IP issues retracted if you can identify who made that complaint. Because in the account health, Amazon is not telling you where the complaint came from. If you'd like to learn more, give us a call for a free consultation, 877-9-SELLERS.

Now we have seen a steady climb in the number of IP complaints, intellectual property rights complaints, also called rights owner complaints this is what Amazon needs to know about trademark complaints. You cannot take somebody else's logo and stick it on your hat and shirt. Clear trademark violation.

More importantly, if you're selling products that are not covered under the first sale doctrine. Intellectual property rights complaints come from products and lots of times you are protected under the first sale doctrine, but you need to make sure that you're not unbundling, repackaging, or somehow taking those products outside of the first sale doctrine that makes the trademark complaint valid.

When it comes to Amazon sellers and copyright issues, this is what you need to know. Copyright issues when it comes to sellers pertains to images and verbiage. You cannot scrape pictures from people or company's websites and stick them on a listing and you cannot copy and paste their verbiage. That's what Amazon sellers need to know about copyright and if you have been falsely accused of violating someone's copyright, you have the power of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act counter-notice program. It only pertains to copyrights, but Amazon sellers, you are not impotent. You can use counter-notices very effectively, especially if you're a seller outside the United States.
