Amazon Trademark Infringement Complaint Attorney (Seattle, Washington)
Whether you are responding to an Amazon trademark infringement complaint or seeking to enforce your own trademark rights against unauthorized sellers, a prompt and well-supported strategy is essential. When an Amazon seller’s listing is removed—or account health is threatened—based on alleged trademark infringement, I help clients evaluate their options quickly and strategically to minimize disruption and protect long-term selling privileges.
Trademark disputes on Amazon often involve questions of likelihood of confusion, brand identifiers, product authenticity, keyword use, and how consumers encounter competing listings in the marketplace. For sellers, effective defense requires careful review of registered and common-law rights, product presentation, packaging, and advertising practices. For brand owners, successful enforcement depends on building a strong evidentiary record and using Amazon’s tools in a way that supports long-term brand protection.
I work with clients to assess non-infringement arguments, nominative fair use and descriptive use defenses, authorization and exhaustion issues, and potential weaknesses in asserted claims. For rights holders, I assist with preparing infringement reports, coordinating enforcement efforts, and addressing repeat violators. Depending on the circumstances, resolution may involve appealing platform notices, negotiating coexistence terms, modifying listings, or pursuing formal enforcement action.
When platform processes and negotiations are insufficient, I also advise on litigation strategies, including filing an intellectual property lawsuit seeking a declaratory judgment of non-infringement or pursuing court-based enforcement to stop infringing activity. In appropriate cases, judicial intervention can clarify trademark rights and deter improper or abusive marketplace conduct.
