账号解冻!亚马逊卖家集体维权第一例成功……
Mark今天收到消息:
亚马逊卖家集体维权,
账号解冻出现第一例!
亚马逊官方支持卖家正当权益。
卖家兄弟姐们们,团结就是力量!
很多被起诉侵权卖家都是无辜的!
一定要拿起武器维权!
只要武器拿起来了,
别人才不会随意欺负咱们中国卖家!
首先,这个投诉卖家侵权的词是产品关键词,
投诉方拿别人listing的关键词注册成商标,
这个投诉方也太黑了,
竟然无耻到如此地步!!!
令人发指啊!
摆明的讹诈!
卖家们天天苦心搬砖没注意商标生效!
无辜中招!
其次,在权利人注册商标之前,
有卖家就已经在使用Brain Flakes这个词了。
根本不是有意侵权!
Wish卖家雪花片侵权案件因为平台出面,
在旺季这个关键节点很快的被解决了……
Wish平台卖家被讹诈后
平台出面后把雪花片产品判为了仿品,
对卖家进行了保护性处罚,
不至于损失很大。
这里不得不对Wish的行动点赞!
接着所谓的权利人又以Brain Flakes商标侵权
向亚马逊平台卖家进行了讹诈,
鹰熊汇之前文章《黑律所黑手伸向亚马逊卖家,讹诈50%的账户资金……》 进行了披露报道,
以帮助卖家兄弟团结一致
共同对付专利流氓的讹诈。
现在好消息传来了!!!
已经有卖家雪花片Brain Flakes解冻了:
此次事件的定性:
中国亚马逊卖家集体自发维权第一案。
中国跨境电商卖家经历过多次被搞,
谁说中国卖家不团结只会窝里斗,
谁说中国卖家是任人宰割的毡板上的鱼肉?
团结起来,
将这个好消息转发告诉所有卖家兄弟姐妹,
未来遇到这种流氓律所,
我们还要团结起来一起对抗GBC一类的黑律所。
中国卖家响应时间慢,
也不容易相信任何不熟悉的律师机构,
殊不知这也是有原因的,
据卖家在群内爆料:
1) 之前中国卖家被搞,卖家委托的律师甚至是华人律师收钱不办事,或者实际达成的结案效果与对卖家的承诺严重不符
2) 一般卖家对于自己的店铺信息都是极为敏感的,不会轻易告诉任何人
3) 中国商人做生意长期坚持和气生财,这也助长了流氓律所的嚣张气焰与贪得无厌
平台利益与卖家利益是一个共同体,
2017年亚马逊全球开店厦门大会上,
亚马逊高管表态,
亚马逊的成功就是因为卖家的成功……
卖家也试图直接与亚马逊中国官方沟通,
说服亚马逊据涉事卖家向鹰熊汇的透露,
卖家主要做了几方面的工作:
一、 投诉方是惯犯,钻法律空子耍流氓,如果每年都搞这么一出,岂不是搞的亚马逊卖家人心惶惶不能正常经营了,同时亚马逊是所有跨境平台中对知识产权保护最严格、是打造中国中小卖家渠道品牌最好的一个平台,这同时也符合2018年亚马逊全球开店政策……
一句话:
打乱亚马逊扶持中小卖家的品牌战略!
二、 如果任由投诉方横行霸道肆无忌惮,今后其他卖家是不是也会效仿,他们可以去别的卖家标题关键词里找出词语去注册,然后投诉别的卖家商标侵权?
相信这样的情况是平台不愿意看见的吧。
三、 此次中招卖家数量并不少!
如果是单个店铺被投诉,对于亚马逊来说没有什么影响,很多卖家被投诉就应该引起官方重视了。
同时,也有律师机构试图联系亚马逊官方,表示恳请官方出面牵头帮助这些被告的卖家集体处理案子,同时建议对招商经理进行涉外法务知识培训以最大限度的预防和规避风险。
今天鹰熊汇全文刊发卖家请愿书,
揭露所谓的权利人讹诈的真实面目。
经过调查取证,
灵眼鹰发现所谓的Brain Flakes商标侵权案
很多卖家是无辜受害!

请愿书中文版本:
我是亚马逊中国区域卖家,我的名字是***,我们的帐户名是****。2017年12月5日发现转帐资金被冻结,之后联系的亚马逊卖家团队,给出的结论是被权利人投诉侵 权,需要我们与权利人律师进行联系。
在联系权利人律师之前,我们也再一次的进行了专利的搜索,并未发现有侵权现象。联系权利人律师时,对方律师也并未告知是 哪方面侵权。一直到权利人律师发来邮件确认为“Brian Flakes”商标侵权。一经确认,我们立即删除了被权利人认为侵权的关键词,并同时下架了我们的产品。
我们 的ASIN: 总销售金额 美金。
关于“Brian Flakes”这组词一直被认做为是雪花片的关键词,权利人于2016年5月3日申请,由2016年9月27日注册 成功。由于我们的工作失误,未及时发现“Brian Flakes”已被注册成商标。
所以,我们同意给权利人适当进行赔偿,并保证不在使用脑片一词。
1.据了解Viahart 公司利用脑片一词大肆敲诈勒索亚马逊卖家已经不是第一次了。去年同期多个亚马逊卖家账号遭遇索赔事件,今年该公司不仅将黑手再次伸向了亚马 逊卖家,还敲诈了100多位WISH平台的卖家。WISH平台经过调查后聘请了专业律师保障卖家权益,Viahart 公司自行撤诉。众所周知,亚马逊是一个如此公正,严谨的 平台,我们真心恳求亚马逊官方介入调查,保护卖家权益,打击此类专利流氓的嚣张气焰。
2.Viahart 公司索赔的金额巨大,并且威胁我们要在12月16日之前把所要求赔偿的资金转到他们的帐户上,否则我们将要支付高额的罚款并且失去我们的帐号与库存。如果该公司没有任何协商的可能,我们最后只能无奈放弃亚马逊账号。对方反复威胁恐吓,这根本就不是索赔而是赤裸裸的敲诈。对方的索赔邮件我们已经上传在附件 ,请查阅。再次请求亚马逊帮助,还卖家一个公道。
3 “脑片”被注册为商标本来就存在居多不合理之处,举个例子,假如某个卖家将“电脑”一词注册了商标,那是不是意味着其他卖家都不能销售电脑了,这显然是不 符合常理的,希望亚马逊能考虑这点,谢谢。
4 这次被权利人投诉,对我们来说是一个非常巨大的打击,我们并非有意侵犯对方的知识产权并且同意给权利人进行适当的赔偿。但是权利人的赔偿要求超出了合理范 围且权利人律师方拒绝进行协商,只要求我们一定要在12月16日之前将资金转到他们的帐户上,否则将会失去我们的帐户和库存。
今年此次“Brian Flakes”侵权事件,已经在中国的电商圈内各大公众号均有报导,反响恶劣。

请愿书英语版本:
标题:911CASE - GROUP DEFENDANTS INFRINGEMENT INCIDENT(XXX Store)
Dear Amazon Customer Seller Support, Thanks very much for your time and appreciate your help in advance. This is from store.We are an honest and responsible seller on Amazon and we respect and obey Amazon policy strictly, never sell any inauthentic item since we have sold on Amazon. But we have received a performance notification on Dec 5 about that the disbursements from your seller account have been placed on hold.From the email, we have been reported by Viahart LLC without any detailed information and the emails shows we can contact the right owner to address this problem. So after contacting this contactor, we just know the reason that VIAHART has applied the brand " Brain Flakes" on May 3 in 2016. But for sellers, the word " brain flakes" is a common keyword for snowflakes building toys.We really don't know how it happens and why this word can be registered into a brand successfully.If this can be successful, more person may exploit like this to report seller to violate their rights , we really can’t imagine how should sellers protect our rights and write our Keywords in the future.This action will cause more sellers become sufferers. But as for this situation, we are wrong at first, so we have tried to contact the owner and also try to communicate with the seller to get an appropriate way to resolve.But all the replies is from a lawyer called " David Gulbransen ".He asked us to provide the sales number and said they will verify these data with Amazon to make settlement offer on Dec 9 and we have cooperated to provide these datas to them at the same day. We have got the compensation offer from them on Dec 10 and this email includes many threaten sentences and words. The lawyer charged $** from us and the dealine is on Dec 16.If we didn’t pay before that date, we’ll be charged much more and will also lose our account., which is really high and unacceptable.They also asked us not to ask help from lawyers and just accept the settle offer.If we don’t do like that, we will lose much more, even lose our account. After searching on the internet, I found this action is a GROUP DEFENDANTS INFRINGEMENT INCIDENT.There are many reports about this incident and I will list some as the following:http://www.cifnews.com/article/ http://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/FYU0NnnTdY9UVWjA_Rp0vg http://www.sohu.com/a/209294464_617335 http://www.wearesellers.com/article/466 1.After this, we have also done some surveys as the following and found this seller’s action is really suspectable. 1.“Brain Flakes”was first used in 2013 and VIAHART applied this word as their brand on May 3 in 2016, registered successfully on Sep 27 in 2016, which has passed one year and nobody knows it has become a brand and all of sellers use this as a NORMAL KEYWORD. VIAHART also don’t do any measurements or warns nearly 2 years. Now this word “Brain Flakes” has been popularized by sellers and it has become a hot word in the building toys field. Suddenly VIAHART reports us and said we violated their rights. This action is really unacceptable and it seems like a scheme. For the normal procedure, if this word belongs to VIAHART, they will warn the sellers firstly not to use this word, once they registered successfully. 2. VIAHART itself didn’t use the brand “ Brain Flakes” in their listing and they only use the Brand “VIAHART”, in their title they also don’t write and show this as a brand, so this action really mislead sellers who sells similar items to use this words without any risk. We can’t also distinguish it as a brand. All the information I stated you can check the ASIN: B00N7CD4BK to know that.As a seller, we are really helpless and really needs your help.We trust amazon is a fair, reliable and promising platform for both sellers and buyers. Look forward to your reply and pologize sincerely for any inconvenience. Best regards,
