In the e-commerce field, protecting intellectual property rights is an important task for sellers. If you are an Amazon seller and your product images are stolen on the TEMU platform, here are some suggestions and steps to help you protect your rights.
1. Contact the TEMU platform.
First, try to contact them through the internal channels of the TEMU platform and ask them to stop using your product images. Express your concerns and provide relevant evidence to them through the contact information on the TEMU official website or its social media platforms. Although it may not solve the problem immediately, it is the first step.
2. Contact the Amazon platform.
If the TEMU platform fails to solve the problem, you can report the issue to the Amazon platform. Submit your complaint and attach relevant evidence in the Amazon Seller Center or through the Amazon Support page. Amazon usually takes action to protect the seller’s intellectual property rights.
3. Take legal action.
If the TEMU platform continues to use unauthorized images, consider taking legal action. Please consult a professional lawyer to understand your legal rights and explore possible legal options. Legal means may include suing for infringement to protect your rights.
4. Use the BBB website to file a complaint.
The BBB website (Better Business Bureau) is a US consumer rights agency that can be used to submit complaints about TEMU stealing pictures. Although the BBB has no legal authority to deal with the company being complained about, by filing a complaint on the BBB, you can use its supervision of the company’s reputation to prompt TEMU to take positive measures to respond to your problem.
5. Take technical measures to protect the pictures.
Whatever action you take, all relevant evidence and communication records should be retained. In addition, consider taking technical measures to protect your product pictures, such as adding brand logo watermarks, using anti-hotlink technology, etc., to reduce the risk of unauthorized theft.
When facing the problem of TEMU stealing pictures, sellers need to firmly defend their intellectual property rights. By cooperating with the TEMU platform, the Amazon platform and legal channels, sellers can more effectively protect their brand image and interests. Please remember that protecting intellectual property rights is an important part of maintaining the long-term development of your business.
