Amazon Patent Issues
Facing patent infringement claims on Amazon? These complex IP disputes require specialized legal expertise. Our patent attorneys defend sellers against utility and design patent claims while protecting legitimate patent holders' rights.
Types of Amazon Patent Disputes
Patents protect inventions and designs. When someone claims your Amazon product infringes their patent, it can result in immediate listing removal—even if the claim is baseless. Patent disputes are among the most complex IP issues on Amazon.
Many patent claims filed against Amazon sellers are invalid, expired, or overly broad. Without proper legal analysis, sellers often capitulate to claims they could successfully challenge.
Utility Patents
Protect how a product works or functions. Claims typically allege your product uses a patented invention, mechanism, or process.
Design Patents
Protect how a product looks. Claims allege your product's appearance is substantially similar to a patented design.
First Sale Doctrine
If you purchased a patented product legally, you have the right to resell it. This defense often applies to resellers facing patent claims.
How We Defend Against Patent Claims
Patent Validity Analysis
We examine whether the patent is valid, properly maintained, and enforceable. Many asserted patents have expired or are invalid.
Non-Infringement Defense
We analyze whether your product actually infringes the patent claims. Often, products are different enough to avoid infringement.
Prior Art Search
We search for evidence that the patented invention existed before the patent was filed, which can invalidate the patent.
First Sale Doctrine
If you legally purchased the product, you may have the right to resell it regardless of patent status.
Design-Around Solutions
We help you modify your product to avoid infringement while maintaining functionality and market appeal.
Amazon Appeal
We craft compelling appeals to Amazon explaining why the patent claim is invalid or doesn't apply to your product.
