What is an Amazon IP violation? An Amazon IP violation occurs when someone uses your intellectual property without your permission to sell products on the platform.
When a violation is recorded—such as an intellectual property (IP) infringement or listing policy issue—it stays on the dashboard for 180 days. After this time, provided there have been no similar issues, it is automatically removed from the visible metrics of the dashboard.
You click on the violation from the account health page in seller central and then select appeal, provide a short note explaining how the listing is not in violation, and upload your invoice. So not only is the policy violation removed from your account, but you're also able to relist the item on Amazon, win-win!
Click on the Appeal button next to the listing deactivation record. Dispute the violation by submitting a DMCA counter-notice ( ) from the Explanation link located below the appeal form.
Contact the person or company who sent you the notice. This could be Amazon, the intellectual property owner, or their agent and find out why you are in violation. Be nice and courteous with them, your reputation is at stake here. Remember not all lawyers bite, and those that do, bite them back.
Copyright infringement is violating an owner's exclusive rights to a work of art, granted by the federal Copyright Act, by the use of protected works without permission. The use of copyrighted works is unauthorized unless consent is given by the owner.
