Copyright infringement is a very serious illegal act on the Amazon platform. Amazon generally handles infringements very strictly, from product removal to direct removal, including self-examination on the Amazon platform, complaints from sellers, complaints from professional anti-counterfeiting lawyers, etc. Once If a product is suspected of infringement, it will be difficult to survive on the platform. There are always ways to make the infringing product disappear. Therefore, it is very important for sellers to do preliminary infringement prevention work before the product is launched online. So, let’s learn about Amazon product selection to prevent infringement. Way to go!
1. Amazon product selection methods to prevent infringement.
1. Pay attention to the supply details.
Sellers can supply goods to different sellers at the same time, which results in the same product being sold by different brands on the platform, and sellers of the same product often complain to each other.
2. Understand product supply.
It is best for sellers to find out from factories or suppliers whether the product is independently developed or imitated by others. Or make improvements and upgrades based on other people’s products. More importantly, who is the seller? There is basically no infringement problem with self-developed products, but the possibility of being found to be infringing does not rule out.
3. Pay attention to self-examination.
Sellers should have a thorough understanding of the products they choose and can check the basic intellectual property rights of the products before choosing. However, it is worth noting that the patent search has a long blind search cycle, so the search cannot guarantee that the product will not infringe.
4. Pay attention to the pictures and text of the Listing.
The text and pictures in the listing are also easily infringed. Please ensure that the content in the listing is original or has obtained the permission of the intellectual property right holder. Don’t include unoriginal logos in product images and don’t use brand names in listing text.
2. What are the products that are prone to infringement?
Apple peripheral products: Apple watch bands, headphones, and data cables.
Masks: These are also popular in the US, such as Saw with its range of masks.
Wedding dress: Focus on clothing sellers. Wedding dresses are sensitive products, and a well-known wedding dress company in the United States complained to China on a large scale.
Dolls: Baymax, Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Frozen and other Disney series products. Although some manufacturers slightly modify cartoon characters, it is easy to infringe (the same goes for printing cartoon characters on clothes and pillows).
The above introduces how to select products on Amazon to prevent infringement. Friends who have worked on Amazon must know that the Amazon platform has zero tolerance for infringement. If a merchant sells brand products, it is best to obtain brand authorization. If there is no authorization, , blindly put products on the shelves. Once a merchant reports infringement, the consequence is that the store will be closed. Before doing operations, product selection is very important. Whether the selection is correct basically determines the sales of the next store. Merchants should not take chances before selecting products. Always pay attention to infringement issues.
