Right Infringement

by Seller_21Gr7bY4E7Q4e

Our product has been taken down. See email below. I’m very confused on this as we buy direct from manufacturer in China, have been selling this product for years, and have a great relationship with the factory.

Answers are very vague and not helpful from Amazon.
This is a false claim.

Questions are:

  1. How do I find out who is saying they are the rights owner?
  2. Does anyone know where I look up the infringement type or complaint ID Amazon provided?
    Infringement type: D846168
    Complaint ID: 5994355831
  3. Amazon wants Proof of Authenticity (invoice, Order ID, licensing agreement, letter of authorization) They want this from our factory in China?
  4. Do i need to use our patent lawyer for this?

Suggests you bought infringing product from your source.

Your listing could remain inactive, if in FBA held until destroyed, and you might be suspended - if you do not respond.
