Why Non-Lawyers Fail IP Appeals

While most Amazon suspension appeals (Inauthentic, ODR, Related Accounts) are non-legal challenges requiring operational expertise and strong writing, Intellectual Property (IP) Complaints are fundamentally different.

Sellers should NEVER use non-attorneys for IP complaints. Only a law firm, like Rosenbaum & Segall, P.C., possesses the necessary education and experience to:

1. Analyze the Complaint Properly: Non-attorneys cannot accurately determine the validity of a Trademark, Copyright, or Patent claim, nor can they advise on the potential legal risk outside of Amazon.
2. Negotiate Retractions: The primary leverage to get a baseless IP complaint retracted is the ability to formally assert or defend IP rights. Non-attorneys have no standing or privilege to engage the complainant’s counsel effectively.
3. Ensure Confidentiality: As a law firm, we provide Attorney-Client Privilege, guaranteeing 100% confidentiality for sensitive sourcing and business data—a protection non-attorney consultants cannot offer.

The ARP System: Amazon Reinstatement Plan for IP Complaints

The firm’s successful strategy for resolving IP disputes follows a strict sequence, prioritizing immediate fact-finding and direct negotiation.

Phase 1: Analysis (Is the Complaint Valid?)

The first step is a precise investigation to determine the nature of the defense, drawing on CJ Rosenbaum’s 10 years of concentrated Amazon experience.

1. Complaint Classification: Immediately determine the exact type of complaint: Trademark, Copyright, Patent, or Counterfeit
2. Verify the Complaint: Determine if the claim is baseless (filed by a competitor) or a genuine violation.

Phase 2: Retraction (The Fastest Way to Reinstatement)

The most effective way to remove an IP complaint from an account is to get the complainant to send a retraction notice to Amazon.

• Baseless Claim Strategy: If the complaint is deemed baseless, we assert the seller’s rights, arguing the complainant is misusing Amazon’s system. Quote from CJ Rosenbaum: “Keep in mind that many intellectual property complaints asserted on Amazon are entirely baseless. If you stand up to these brands, they worry about their own liability and withdraw complaints.”
• Negotiated Resolution: If the violation is genuine, we negotiate a resolution (e.g., agreeing to remove the listing and inventory) in exchange for the retraction.

Phase 3: POA Submission (The Final Step)

The Plan of Action (POA) is submitted to Amazon only after pursuing the retraction strategy. The POA must be short, structured, and evidence-driven.

1. Root Cause: State the cause (e.g., “Failure to audit listing content for copyright infringement”).
2. Corrective Actions: Detail immediate fixes (e.g., “Removed all infringing text/images” and “Contacted Complainant on [Date]”).
3. Long Term or Systemic Changes to Your Business: Outline new SOPs (e.g., “Implemented mandatory content review prior to listing”).

If the complainant issued a retraction, that document is the most valuable exhibit attached to the POA, signaling to Amazon that the dispute is resolved and accelerating account reactivation.

Client Success Highlight: IP Complaint Overturned

This strategy consistently delivers results for sellers facing high-stakes IP shutdowns:

“They were good stewards of our money, would not take our case until they felt confident they had a good probability of being successful, and have done a great job helping us get our account going after an inauthentic claim [used as IP violation]. Their wise advice and hard work have reaped big rewards for our company.” — Susan W. (5-Star Client Review)

“I want to thank infinitely the whole team… After getting suspended on Amazon my fiancé and I were panicking and didn’t know what to do. Let me tell you that after 2 weeks of suspension we have finally been reinstated! We never thought this would happen and I can’t thank this office enough.” — Client Review (5-Star)
