The Legal Process: If a trademark infringer is detected
The answer depends on the platform the seller is on, and in what specific ways the trademark was infringed upon. After determining the nature of the infringement, the seller, through their intellectual property lawyer, will generally send a cease and desist letter. This letter requests that the infringer refrain from further violating intellectual property rights. Generally, it notifies the infringer that if the offending products are not removed from the view of consumers, further legal action may follow.
If an Amazon merchant has fallen victim to infringement at the hands of another Amazon merchant, the seller’s attorney may file a take down request with Amazon. When Amazon complies with the take down request, infringers will often resume selling the infringing product under a different account.
If financially feasible, sellers who suffer infringement can seek redress in court.
