Declaratory Judgment of Non-Infringement Attorney (Amazon Disputes)
Facing an Amazon IP complaint, product takedown, or account health risk? When an Amazon seller’s listings are removed—or funds and selling privileges are threatened—because of alleged trademark, patent, or copyright infringement, timing and strategy matter. We help sellers quickly assess the claim, stabilize the account, and choose the most effective path to resolution.
Many Amazon disputes begin with platform notices and rights-owner communications, but they don’t always end there. We advise clients on how to respond to infringement allegations, challenge or appeal Amazon notices where appropriate, and communicate effectively with rights owners to reduce repeat-infringer risk and restore listings. The goal is to resolve the issue efficiently—without unnecessary escalation—while preserving evidence and options.
When platform processes are insufficient or negotiations stall, we also counsel on litigation pathways. In appropriate cases, filing an intellectual property lawsuit seeking a declaratory judgment of non-infringement (or patent invalidity) can shift the dispute into a court forum, clarify the parties’ rights, and provide the certainty needed to protect your brand and keep the business operating.
Common Amazon dispute scenarios
- Trademark complaints involving alleged likelihood of confusion, product authenticity, or brand registry disputes
- Patent assertions tied to utility or design patents affecting core listings
- Copyright claims related to images, product descriptions, manuals, or marketing content
- Repeat-infringer concerns threatening account health or selling privileges
- Stalled negotiations where rights-owner demands prevent reinstatement
How we help
- Rapid issue triage: assess the allegation, evidence, and business impact to prioritize next steps.
- Amazon notice strategy: guide appeals and responses designed to reduce platform risk and support reinstatement.
- Rights-owner engagement: craft communications and resolutions that protect your position and avoid admissions.
- Litigation planning: evaluate whether a declaratory judgment action makes sense and where to file.
- Brand and portfolio protection: align dispute strategy with long-term product and IP goals.
