We've received a trademark misuse policy violation today. We design art prints and this one is a map of Blackpool. We are being told that the word Blackpool is a trademark and a registered brand on Amazon, we've searched and searched for a trademark and/or brand on Amazon but can't find that anywhere.

Can anyone explain the logic? There are thousands of Blackpool listings on Amazon, how can a town name be a trademark?

Help!

Thanks

I have received a Suspected Intellectual Property Violation. I don't understand why I am brand registered with Amazon and the product they have removed is my own product and the logo is my own trade mark which is registered to me. I can;t understand why they have done this

Your listing is identified as a suspected violation of Amazon’s Intellectual Property Policy. Sellers are responsible to ensure the products they offer for sale comply with all applicable laws, regulations and Amazon policies. Deleting the listing from your inventory will not resolve the violation notice or improve your Account Health.

Why is this happening?

We have taken this measure because we suspect that your listing for this product infringes on the intellectual property of others. The product detail page for this product uses the trademarked logo of another rights owner. We have not been able to confirm that you are authorised to use this trademark on the product detail page. Unauthorised or incorrect use of this trademarked logo is likely to cause confusion as to the source, endorsement or affiliation of the goods. Infringement of a trademark is a violation of Amazon Intellectual Property Policy.

How to address the listing violation?

Products should be listed under the correct brand name intended by the owner of the trademark or the registered brand name. If the brand name for this listing is currently blank or has an invalid name, update the correct or complete brand name.

If you acknowledge the image(s) on the product detail page that contains a trademarked logo belonging to another rights owner, edit the ASIN’s detail page in one of the following ways before appealing:

1. Remove the trademarked logo from all images entirely for example, upload new images to the listing without any trademarked logos (or)

2. Change the brand name to accurately reflect the product and match trademarked logo used on the product detail page (or)

3. Update the detail page to add compatibility terms before the trademarked term, if the product is using the trademarked term to refer to another product, for example, “charger for Kindle E-Reader”, “charger compatible with Kindle E-Reader” or “charger made for Kindle E-Reader”.

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.

Can you help please,

Thanks in advance
