How to appeal Trademark Infringement on Amazon
Trademark claims filed against you.
Trademark Infringement falls under Intellectual Property — one of the violation families Amazon groups when reviewing seller performance, catalog integrity, and buyer experience. When Seller Performance or another Amazon team flags this issue, they are looking for evidence that you understand what triggered the notice, what you changed operationally, and how you will prevent a repeat.
Amazon typically expects a clear corrective response before the issue escalates to broader listing or account-level enforcement. The guides below walk through how to read the notice, organize invoices or tracking where relevant, and draft a Plan of Action that addresses root cause, corrective actions, and prevention — without guessing at policy language you cannot verify from your own notification.
Use these articles as category-specific starting points before you open a case in Seller Central. Timelines vary by case complexity and how complete your first submission is. If you are unsure which sub-issue applies, the free analyzer can map your pasted notice to the closest appeal category before you commit to a single POA template.
Most Trademark Infringement appeals fail on the first pass when sellers skip verifiable root cause or attach documents that do not match the ASINs cited in the notice. Build a checklist from your performance notification: policy paragraph quoted, affected SKUs, order IDs or shipment references, and any deadline Amazon stated for response.
After reinstatement, monitor Account Health and the relevant performance tile for 30 to 60 days. Amazon sometimes reopens cases when buyers repeat the same complaint pattern, so preventive measures in your POA should name the owner, audit frequency, and trigger that would escalate internally before a second enforcement.

Common questions
- What is a Trademark Infringement notice on Amazon?
- Trademark claims filed against you. Amazon uses this category when enforcement teams need sellers to explain compliance, performance, or catalog behavior tied to this issue type — not as a generic account warning.
- What should I include in my first appeal response?
- Lead with a concise summary of what happened, then separate root cause, actions already taken, and preventive controls. Attach only documents that match the ASINs or orders referenced in your notification — incomplete or unrelated files are a common reason appeals stall.
- Can I keep selling while this issue is open?
- It depends on the exact enforcement action in your notice — some violations restrict individual ASINs, others affect whole categories or the entire account. Read the performance notification carefully and check Account Health for active listing or disbursement holds before assuming you can ship as usual.
- How are Trademark Infringement appeals typically reviewed?
- Timelines vary by case complexity and how complete your first submission is. Amazon reviewers compare your narrative to the violation cited in the notice; vague POAs that do not reference your specific SKUs, suppliers, or metrics are often rejected for more detail rather than reinstatement.
