How To Handle “Multiple Intellectual Property Violations” Suspension on Amazon

Solver greets you!

The Multiple IP Violation suspension began to occur rather often among our clients. Does that sound frightening? – Yes. Is it possible to solve? – Sure.

Of course, it’s preferable not to breach other businesses’ intellectual property (IP) to avoid compromising your account. To do this, we advise you to purchase items from trustworthy suppliers and distributors and obtain an authorization letter from the brand or the supplier if they are authorized to provide it to you. Even if you infringed a big brand’s intellectual property, you don’t have to say “Goodbye” to your account. The key thing here is to switch off emotions and assess what you have violated with a cold mind, without trying to hide anything even from yourself.

If the suspension has already occurred, you should examine the images, description, and product itself to find the reason for the problem. Intellectual property rights are classified into three basic types: copyright, patent, and trademark. Half of the success in account reactivation is accurately identifying the problem, knowing at least which way to start going and from which side to approach Amazon.

Worth noting that you will not be able to sell all of the products in question when the Multiple IP Violation suspension is resolved. The main goal is to save the account; listings cannot be kept.

The following are the initial points that must be observed:

1. First and foremost, you must delete listings that infringe IP (unless, of course, Amazon did this before you)
2. Try to gather documentation for all of the items in question. Those may include invoices or receipts.
3. Accept the responsibility. In no situation should you hide behind a manager who suddenly soared into the skies or a new employee – Amazon no longer believes in this. If they believed it, it was probably an accident, or you are really fortunate. At the same time, you may claim that the supplier deceived you. But there is a thin line here: even if the supplier indeed deceived you, you should not hold him responsible for everything. You are still responsible because you did not thoroughly inspect the inventory. As a result, to avoid infringing on intellectual property, you should first investigate the supplier’s background, documentation, feedback, etc.

That is what you must concentrate on in Corrective Measures, as well as in Preventive Measures.

Checklists, well-developed methods for monitoring suppliers, the quality of their items, and packaging might prove that you worked through this moment with Amazon. You will win Amazon employees’ hearts, focusing on every detail.

An interesting point: if you have your brand, you may exploit it to your benefit. You can state that you will sell your brand only, and the history of your Amazon business will begin from the outset.

I hope this text only entertained you and that you don’t have to use the highlighted points;)
