In order to prevent being followed by others, sellers have registered trademarks and filed GCIDs on the platform. However, given the current situation on the Amazon platform, these are far from enough to prevent being followed by others. Registering trademarks and filing GCIDs are only basic safeguards to prevent being followed by others.
In the actual operation process, there are always some sellers who are either new and ignorant, unfamiliar with the platform rules, or black sheep who intend to plunder and will follow the original seller when the product has been successfully built. In this case, you must take action as soon as possible to drive away the follower.
The first step to drive away the follower is to send a warning email to the follower. In the drive-off email, you must explain the situation and issue a warning in a reasonable and well-founded manner. The following email template can be used as a reference for sellers. Dear "B".
It has come to our attention that "B" is using
the "A" trademark without license or prior written authorization from "A "
"A"holds federal trademark registrations in the United States. So "B" listingsviolate "A" trademark and intellectual property rights. You are also in breach of Amazon'sParticipation Agreement.
Therefore, we demand you remove all listings on Amazon.com in which "B" utilizesour trademarks and images protected by copy right immediately.
"B"currently has at least one listing on Amazon.com for products that utilize "Atrademarks and/or copyrights without authorization. See the following ASIN: XXXXXXX.While "A" has many options available under this state. But we would prefer to resolvethis matter amicably, Please confirm to us in writing within 24 hours, that you have:
(1) Removed all of"A's" trademarks and copyright material from your Amazon.com listings and any other website or public display you operate:
(2) Removed all of"A's" listings of products it claims to be associated with"A's"
including but not limited to the ASIN listed above.Failure to take action within 24 hours will force us to report this serious violation tothe Amazon seller performance team, This is licensed products to Amazon.com as well.The Amazon seller
performance team will take such violations very seriously, possibly resulting in removal ofyour selling privileges on Amazon.com.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Legal on In the above email template, the rights of the trademark holder are emphasized, and the improper behavior of the follower is pointed out. At the same time, these behaviors are warned and the follower is required to stop immediately to avoid the adverse effects caused. In addition to warnings in English emails, considering that most of the followers are Chinese sellers, we can also use Chinese emails for warnings.
