Reported seller Brand Registry
I reported a seller earlier who is piggy backing on one of my listings
(Listing has my trademarked brand name, private label products that I make complete with branded packaging)
got this reply
Thank you for submitting your notice of infringement. We cannot take action on your report because of the reasons listed below.
Amazon respects a manufacturer’s right to enter into exclusive distribution agreements for its products. However, violations of such agreements do not constitute intellectual property rights infringement. As the enforcement of these agreements is a matter between the manufacturer and the retailers, it would not be appropriate for Amazon to assist in enforcement activities.
what does it mean exactly?
I guess brand registry as usual never bothered to read the form?

Likely means they think you are selling a generic product that others can also buy and stick their name on?

That sounds like they think you have agreed a distribution deal with the other seller. Did you file the correct complaint?

- Buy product from competitor
- Make his product and packaging photo.
- Report to seller support that product EAN or brand, packaging is different then in your listing.
Listing rules
Do not list your item against a detail page with a different ISBN, EAN or other external identifier. Only list an item against a detail page with the same ISBN or EAN as your item.
- Exception: Club editions of audio CDs should be listed against the detail page for the standard edition of the CD, even if the EANs of the two editions are different, if the following criteria are met: 1) the content on both editions is identical and 2) a page with the EAN for the club edition does not already exist in the Amazon catalogue. You should use the listing comments to indicate that the item is a club edition

I did couple times, otherwise you will get generic answers from amazon. Good luck.
Most important make your product photo, and competitor, can be in one photo.
Provide order number, that you did buy from competitor. T
