Infringement is a taboo on Amazon and is what original sellers hate the most. Imagine that a product you worked so hard to make is finally taken advantage of by others. You will definitely feel dissatisfied. Recently, a seller shared his experience. The difference is that the seller's product was not copied by other sellers, but sold by the manufacturer he cooperated with.
This is what happened:
The seller designed a product himself and then cooperated with a manufacturer to produce it. The seller sold the product on the Amazon platform. Part of the goods had been sent to the Amazon warehouse, and the manufacturer was still producing some. When the seller went to urge them, he found that his products were being sold by the manufacturer on its website, including the logo and other aspects.
The seller had just launched this product for less than a month and had been focusing on the operation of the product, so the relevant trademarks and patents had not yet been registered. After searching on the patent website, it was found that these had not yet been registered by the manufacturer, so the seller immediately applied for trademarks, patents and other intellectual property information. However, because the manufacturer and the seller are located in different countries, the problem is still a bit tricky.
Moreover, according to this seller, he is still a new seller, so he has not signed a contract with the manufacturer ...Other sellers in the comment area said that this kind of cooperation relationship must be signed with a contract that clearly states the manufacturer's rights, such as not being able to use these products for other purposes, etc., and use legal means to protect their legitimate rights and interests.
A product, from design and development to manufacturing and sale, requires sellers to spend a lot of time and effort, and it is the result of hard work. If the product has good market feedback, it would be more costly if the idea is stolen because there is no relevant patent. This is why many sellers hate copycat sales.
Sellers should also take this as a warning. They should not only be careful not to infringe on others' rights, but also pay attention to the protection of their own intellectual property rights. Original products must remember to register trademarks, etc. This way, they can better safeguard their legitimate rights and interests if they are infringed upon. Amazon Seller Manufacturer |
