Design infringement on Amazon – German Patent Attorney / “Design Lawyer” helps!

Design law problems on Amazon? ASIN blocking on Amazon? Product blocked / suspended? – Our experienced Patent Attorney / IP Lawyer helps Amazon merchants / sellers!

If you have problems with design law on Amazon, for example as an Amazon retailer / Amazon seller or design owner, it is important to react quickly and correctly. Our specialized Patent Law Firm and Intellectual Property Law Firm in Germany has already been able to successfully help many Amazon sellers from around the world on the Amazon marketplace with a wide variety of issues and also offers you professional legal support!

This applies both in the case of design infringements (e.g. infringement of a German design or infringement of an EU design / European Union design (formerly: Community design)) by third parties, as well as in the case that an intellectual property right holder accuses you of infringing their design. This can quickly lead to the blocking of offers / products or ASINs by Amazon (Amazon blocking / Amazon suspension / ASIN blocking) and other consequences.

The services offered by our German and European Patent Attorney & Certified Intellectual Property Lawyer in design law in the event of design infringements include, for example:

• Analysis of design infringement allegations: We check whether the alleged design infringement really exists and develop a suitable strategy for the next steps
• Contacting Amazon: e.g. reporting infringements of designs so that the ASIN is suspended / blocked or that an Amazon ASIN suspension / ASIN blocking is lifted and the ASIN is restored and the blocked offer is available again
• Contacting the opposing party: As a possible alternative solution, a direct contact with the opposing party can also be a solution in various cases
• Appeals against Amazon decisions: Contacting the Amazon legal department in order to (hopefully) correct unjustified measures taken by Amazon

Tips on how to proceed in the event of an (alleged) design infringement on the Amazon Marketplace:

• Quick reaction important to either take action (to avoid greater damage and costs) or to contact Amazon
• As a first step, it is usually advisable to check the infringement allegation so that you can then decide how to proceed

Important: Unauthorized ASIN blockings / product suspensions can lead to counterclaims for damages and injunctive relief. This is another reason why it is necessary to react quickly!
