酷鸟卖家助手:流言横飞的亚马逊侵权,你真的懂吗?
以下文章来源于酷鸟卖家助手 ,作者亚马逊小撕鸡
一周下来,许多卖家抛出了关于亚马逊清理违规店铺的问题,最常见的话题就是侵权了;
怪我,并没有提到侵权的问题 小撕鸡从来都是有错就认,被打立正的人,上网一搜 果然,最近热点事件不就是所谓的亚马逊史上最严重的侵权案处理,不过见风就是雨的网络传播把一则行内新闻硬生生ctrl c、ctrl v了400多次; 可内容大多无关痛痒 也就过过眼瘾围观,派不上用场 这话怎么像在说那些不可描述的... 咳咳,小撕鸡是个严肃的男人,个人拙见:我们不应该过度的解读某件行业内的热点事件,但日常运营工作中,我们必须对所做的事情给予足够的尊重和重视; 事件回顾 8月上旬,有卖家反映收到亚马逊关于侵权的处理通知 核心内容为以下两点: 1.告知卖家其帐户中的限制资金已转给权利所有人,建议卖家直接和权利人联系解决。 2.在亚马逊上任何侵犯其他人版权、专利、商标、设计权、数据权或其他知识产权或其他所有权的行为都是被禁止的。 类似的事情,相信很多速卖通、eBay的老卖家都对GBC钓鱼执法Paypal的事件多少有点印象; 每年都有不少卖家遭遇这家律师事务所的钓鱼,导致很大损失;现在不过是换了个姿势,在亚马逊平台再来一次罢了; 这次的事件恐怕不会是偶然,也不会是结束,小撕鸡敢赌五毛钱,这样的事情会越来越多,原因很简单,随着大批中国卖家的涌入,市场份额越来越大,资金流量也越滚越大,美国某些律师事务发现了一部分中国卖家在侵权方面的意识薄弱,暴露出来的商机和潜在资金量大,天上掉下的银子,不捡白不捡呗; 专利侵权和品牌侵权,你分清了吗? 很多卖家,尤其是新手卖家,经常一款产品没有彻底核查是否侵权就匆匆上架了,是存在一些风险的,主要有以下几个方面: 1,专利侵权和品牌侵权都是分站点和国家的,不是说英国站侵权日本站和北美站就一定侵权; 所以侵权的核查必须全站点查清楚!(严肃脸) 2,专利外观侵权是会有严格要求产品尺寸的,A尺寸侵权,B尺寸不一定侵权; 所以外观方面需要弄清楚专利所拥有的尺寸,其他尺寸,你懂得; 3,不管是品牌还是专利都是有审核时间的,在正式生效时间内也是投诉不了的;另外专利又分发明专利和外观专利,发明专利这个申请的时间会比较长,所以基本不用担心,一般专利下来了,产品该赚的也都赚到了。 所以小撕鸡一直觉得收到卖家的警告信真不是事儿,你审核还没生效呢,警告就警告呗,生效再说,气死你丫的; 4,品牌是有品类限制的,品牌如果是注册的宠物用品,如果对方是户外用品,那也是投诉不了的; 嘿嘿嘿,是不是又学到一招? 5.专利侵权和品牌侵权在亚马逊上所承受的结果也是不一样的;如果是专利侵权,一般亚马逊会删除该listing并给予一次警告。但是新账号最好还是不要这么去冒险,有可能会被直接关闭店铺。如果是品牌侵权关闭店铺的概率会比专利侵权要高很多,所以品牌侵权大家一定要非常的注意。 在亚马逊上内衣、眼镜等类目的产品很多人不敢卖,因为目前国内的这些基本上是抄袭国外大牌的,就算你是有自己的品牌上架,也有可能被原品牌商投诉卖假货或者侵权,或者被亚马逊审核listing; 卖家该如何核查侵权 作为卖家,在运营中做好防止侵权必要性我们已经不用再多强调了,从选品开始就要考虑是否涉及到发明专利,外观专利等侵权,而在发布产品阶段,也要避免把别人的品牌写在自己的listing中,如果选品时能够对一个产品做一个较全面的分析评估,侵权的概率就会大大降低了; 当然,一些卖家如果能够直接进入供应商的设计层面,直接参与到产品的研发,推出自己独家的产品,就另当别论了,侵权的可能性就更小了; 所以,大家在上架之前最好还是要对自己上架的产品做一个详细的调查;小撕鸡在此附上商标和专利查询网址供大家可以去做筛选; 商标查询网址 美国:https://www.uspto.gov/ 欧盟:https://oami.europa.eu/ohimportal/en/ 专利查询网址 美国:http://patft.uspto.gov/ 欧盟发明专利查询 http://ep.espacenet.com/numberSearch?locale=en_EP 欧盟外观专利查询 http://oami.europa.eu/RCDOnline/RequestManager# 当然 小撕鸡也有自己查品牌侵权的网址http://www.trademarkia.com 账户因侵权被封后正确的申诉姿势 附某卖家的亚马逊侵权一次性通过的申诉邮件 废话不多说,直接拿实际案例来做分析 案例:被商标持有者/专利持有者投诉侵权 申诉邮件的几大重点: 1,第一时间下架侵权产品,并以纠正错误的态度调查整个店铺是否有类似产品,并表示将全部下架,未来将加大产品品牌/专利/真伪方面的检测,100%确定没有问题才会上架; 2,联系邮件中亚马逊给出的投诉人,承认错误,并示意自己是无心之失,告知已经下架该产品,并承诺不再销售他们品牌的产品,抄送给亚马逊notice邮箱; 3,资料上有进货发票和其他有效证明可以提交作为辅助,提供供应商的联系信息管网等证明有正规的进货渠道,将组建专人团队负责核查产品信息:外观/品牌/工厂资质等,保证不再犯错; 亚马逊侵权一次性通过申诉邮件模板 Dear sir/madam, Thanks for your patience about our issue.
