You Received an Amazon Cease-and-Desist Letter – What Should You Do?

Vova: Getting a cease-and-desist letter from VantageBP or a brand protection company on Amazon can be unsettling. 

In today’s article, I’m joined by David Miller, an Amazon Seller Attorney, to discuss what to do when you receive one of these letters and how to handle the situation.

Understanding What’s Behind These Letters

David: Let’s start by talking about VantageBP. 

They typically send out letters that seem to suggest sellers are violating intellectual property (IP) laws. 

These letters often request supplier information from sellers, which can be a bit misleading. 

They imply that there might be an issue with the authenticity of your product.

Protect Your Supplier Information

David: What’s important to understand here is that VantageBP doesn’t usually make a direct claim of IP infringement. 

Instead, they suggest there might be potential issues like differences in the product or trademark infringement. 

This is where Amazon sellers need to be cautious. 

If your product is authentic, you don’t need to immediately provide supplier information. 

Your supplier details are incredibly valuable, and you should be careful about sharing them.

The Importance of Invoices and Being Cautious

David: These brand protection companies, like VantageBP, are not law firms. 

They can disrupt your entire supply chain by simply sending a letter. 

That’s why it’s crucial to respond with care. 

As long as your products are genuine and you have proper invoices to back them up, don’t rush into giving away details that could harm your business. 

I usually advise sellers to respond firmly and not to give in to what I call “brand bullying.”

Vova: That’s a good point, David. 

And if sellers are unsure how to respond to these letters, can you help with that?

David: Absolutely. Part of what we do is prepare response letters on behalf of sellers. 

We handle these situations professionally and ensure that sellers aren’t left vulnerable.
