The recent $39 million penalty imposed on Amazon by the Delhi High Court serves as a stark reminder of the high cost of intellectual property (IP) infringement. With e-commerce platforms facing increasing scrutiny over counterfeit products and trademark violations, businesses must proactively ensure that their product listings comply with IP laws.
If your company’s brand, logo, or trademark has been misused by an e-commerce platform or its sellers, KAS & Co can help you secure the damages you rightfully deserve. Here’s how:
Understanding the Opportunity: Holding Amazon Accountable
Amazon and other platforms often argue that they are just intermediaries, not responsible for what third-party sellers list. However, the Delhi High Court’s ruling shows that when a platform actively engages in branding, manufacturing, or promoting infringing products, it can be directly liable.
This means your company could have a multi-million-dollar claim if:
- Amazon or its subsidiaries have been selling products using your trademark without authorization.
- Your brand is being counterfeited or misrepresented on the platform.
- You have suffered financial losses or brand dilution due to infringement.
How KAS & Co Can Help Your Business Secure Justice
At KAS & Co, we specialize in Intellectual Property Litigation, Technology Law, and Brand Protection. Our legal team has deep expertise in fighting against trademark infringement by e-commerce giants. Here’s how we can assist:
1. Trademark Audit & Evidence Collection
Before initiating legal action, we conduct a comprehensive audit to assess infringement. We identify:
- Unauthorized product listings using your trademark or similar logos.
- Sales data and revenue generated from infringing products.
- Amazon’s direct involvement in manufacturing, branding, or marketing the infringing goods.
2. Filing Legal Action Against Amazon & Other Defendants
Once we establish a strong case, we initiate trademark infringement and passing-off lawsuits. Our legal strategy includes:
- Interim Injunctions to stop further sales and remove infringing listings immediately.
- Ex-Parte Proceedings, if Amazon or sellers fail to appear, increasing the chances of a swift judgment.
- Claims for Damages, including lost profits, reputational harm, and punitive damages.
3. Navigating Platform Liability for Maximum Compensation
Many businesses hesitate to take on e-commerce giants due to their complex legal shields. However, KAS & Co ensures that:
- Amazon’s liability is fully explored, including its active role in branding and sales.
- Damages claims are maximized, following precedents like the $39 million ruling.
- Global legal frameworks are leveraged to strengthen your case.
4. Negotiating Out-of-Court Settlements
In many cases, Amazon may prefer to settle rather than face a public lawsuit. Our aggressive pre-litigation strategy often leads to:
- Faster compensation without lengthy court battles.
- Removal of infringing listings to protect your brand.
- Favorable licensing or exclusivity agreements with Amazon or other platforms.
