I am seeking advice and support to resolve a Trademark Text Misuse notice issued to my account on November 27. I would greatly appreciate any guidance from experienced sellers or Amazon support representatives regarding the situation. Here are the key details and questions:

Background:

I received a Trademark Text Misuse notice for allegedly infringing the PURINA trademark.

The notice affected the following ASINs: B00P9XB1YC, B07RB8VVVH, B08B1KWSFH

Of these listings, only two (B00P9XB1YC and B07RB8VVVH) sell PURINA-branded merchandise. The last product under the Bonio brand.

Observations:

All of the affected notices list sub-brands in the “brand” column rather than the main TMs under which the product is sold.

Not all sellers were removed from the listings, so it is unclear why my account was sanctioned given that we are not even the creators of these listings.

Key issues and questions:

How did we receive a trademark text misuse notice for listings that do not mention the PURINA trademark directly or indirectly?

Could the problem arise from improper branding in the “brand” column of these ads?

Since we are not the creators of these ads, we cannot make corrections to the brand column. Can Amazon update the brand column ahead of time to reflect the exact owner of the PURINA and BONIO brand?

I believe this situation may involve intentional misbranding on the part of the ad creator to exploit trademarks and eliminate competition. Any advice on how to effectively address this issue, especially with Amazon support, would be extremely helpful.

Thanks for your help!

Have started to get lots of Trademark Logo Misuse dings, to the extent that my score is so low I could be suspended anytime.

Could someone please urgently advise. Here is just one example, where they say 'Philips' is the offending trademark/logo misuse on an Air Fryer. Firstly, I don't see how an Air Fryer - that's actually made BY Philips - contravenes it's own trademark!? Anyway, in the Appeal I have to agree that: I have updated the listing in compliance with Amazon’s Intellectual Property Policy. The listing no longer misuses a trademarked logo and can now be reviewed for activation.

What exactly am I supposed to change on the listing using the edit button in order to comply with this? Here is the listing as it is presently on Amazon: Philips Air Fryer

I have Hot Wheels Brand approval, but every time i go to list something hot wheels you remove saying suspected property violation. This issue has been going on since December 2023 every time i speak to an advisor i get the same answer 'Oh yes i can see you have Brand Approval, but i can't see an issue' I try to list again and Amazon flags and sends a trademark misuse violation, they then remove the listed item and puts a mark against me. I don't know why i am bothering to put this in community chat as nothing anyone says actually works. Amazon Staff have limited training it seems
