Asked in Patents (Intellectual Property)

Q: I just received a patent infringement strike on Amazon. Can you help me?

Our product does not have a brand registry on Amazon, and we haven't applied for a patent, and now another brand has put a strike on my three listings. I want a solution; the opponent has a utility patent.

A: Well the outcome of this may differ depending on various different circumstances you have not provided.

Qualified IP lawyer needs to check out and examine claims of the opponent and also your IP.

After that you can either negotiate licence terms with opponent or you can withdraw your listing and a few other options depending on the whole situation.

I recommend you to seek a local IP attorney to advice you more on this.
