What is an Amazon Cease and Desist Letter?

A cease and desist letter is a formal legal notice that demands an individual or business stop engaging in specific infringing or unauthorized activities.
In the context of Amazon, such letters are used to protect intellectual property, trademarks, copyrights, or brand reputation.

  • Stop unauthorized resellers of your branded products.

  • Prevent counterfeit activity before it escalates to litigation.

  • Preserve pricing integrity and MAP compliance.

  • Enforce IP rights under trademark and copyright law.

     

Our Process to Protect Sellers

Our team manages every step of the cease and desist process — from identifying infringers to ensuring post-delivery compliance.

Step 1: Identifying Infringement and Unauthorized Sellers

We conduct thorough marketplace audits to confirm infringement before action.

  • Review listings for counterfeit or unauthorized sales.

  • Identify intellectual property and trademark violations.

  • Verify Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) or policy breaches.

Step 2: Drafting a Legally Sound Cease and Desist Letter

  • Attorney-written letters that comply with Amazon’s legal and policy framework.

  • Clear demands outlining specific violations and required actions.

  • Legal compliance review before delivery.

Step 3: Delivering the Cease and Desist Letter

  • Send to the infringer directly or via Amazon’s internal communication system.

  • Track responses, removals, or escalations.

  • Prepare documentation in case further action is needed.

Step 4: Following Up and Enforcing Compliance

  • Monitor listings to ensure removal and continued compliance.

  • File DMCA or Amazon Brand Registry reports if sellers ignore notices.

  • Maintain a verified enforcement record for ongoing protection.

2 Kinds of Amazon Listing Hijackers

Unauthorized Resellers & Counterfeiters

All vendors will have a harder time fighting unauthorized resellers than they will be fighting counterfeiters. Why? Because Amazon doesn’t take part in manufacturer/vendor/reseller agreements except for newly gated brands. Amazon’s entire focus is on what shows up on customers’ doorsteps.

If there are counterfeiters (sellers using your pictures or verbiage), a lawyer can tell you if the hijackers are violating your intellectual property rights and whether you should seek to have them removed by Amazon’s complaint system, using cease and desist letters, or a DMCA takedown.
