More than 6,000 trademarks have been exposed! How can Amazon sellers reduce their losses?

The USPTO’s announcement stated that the trademark agent violated the authority’s trademark operation regulations, including engaging in trademark affairs without official authorization; misappropriating other lawyers’ information for trademark-related applications; providing false information when registering; and abusing the USPTO’s accounts and systems. The affected trademarks were registered between 2014 and 2021, with the largest number of trademarks registered between 2019 and 2021.

The trademark agent has since issued a statement, saying that the reason for the sanctions on more than 6,000 trademarks is that the company had been warned about a number of trademarks before, and did not switch email addresses when applying for new trademarks, resulting in association with the warned trademarks. The agent emphasized that the sanctions will not affect the trademarks that have already been issued. At present, we have not received any feedback from Amazon that the brands on the sanctioned list have had their registrations revoked, and the agent also said that it is negotiating with the USPTO and has prepared materials for the appeal.

This year, American Standards have frequently been hit by scandals, starting with x逸 at the beginning of the year and xxxx in the middle of the year. Even the rhetoric after the scandals is exactly the same, "The trademarks that have been certified will not be affected, and the company is negotiating", etc. In fact, in the end, they are often left unresolved. Everyone is prepared for the worst, that is, the trademark cannot be kept. In this case, we must at least keep a store, so as not to be sanctioned. Amazon will not only cancel the registration, but also prohibit the store from registering other brands. This will have a huge impact.
