Amazon IP Lawyers Helping Patent Owners and Sellers Protect What Matters

At Gallium Law, we help clients navigate one of the most competitive—and complex—marketplaces in the world: Amazon. As experienced Amazon IP lawyers, we work with both intellectual property rights holders and Amazon sellers to enforce, defend, and resolve disputes related to patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Whether you are a patent owner seeking to stop copycats or an Amazon seller facing a takedown threat, our team delivers fast, strategic solutions grounded in real-world results.

Our intellectual property attorneys are deeply familiar with Amazon’s policies, procedures, and the Amazon Patent Evaluation Express (APEX) program. We represent clients through every stage of the Amazon IP process, from filing infringement complaints to negotiating licenses to defending sellers accused of infringement. If your business depends on Amazon, our legal team can help you protect your revenue, your brand, and your long-term success.

Amazon IP Enforcement for Patent Holders

If you own a patent or trademark, Amazon can be both an opportunity and a risk. The platform’s low barriers to entry make it easy for infringing products to appear quickly and scale sales with little accountability. At Gallium Law, we help patent owners and other rights holders take swift action to stop unauthorized sellers and protect their competitive edge. Our Amazon enforcement process includes:

  • Reviewing your intellectual property portfolio
  • Identifying which patents, trademarks, or copyrights you want to enforce
  • Developing a keyword and category-based search strategy to uncover infringing listings
  • Investigating listings to determine if they infringe on your IP
  • Reporting infringing products directly to Amazon through the Brand Registry portal
  • Tracking outcomes and handling relistings or repeat violations

In many cases, we can achieve takedowns within days. In others, we help clients pursue licensing agreements or further legal remedies depending on the circumstances. If necessary, we can also initiate the APEX process to resolve patent disputes via a third-party neutral evaluator hired by Amazon.

Working with Gallium Law Through Amazon’s APEX Program

The Amazon Patent Evaluation Express (APEX) program is a unique mechanism that allows patent holders to enforce their rights without filing a full lawsuit. APEX functions like a mini trial, where Amazon appoints a neutral evaluator to assess whether a product infringes on a U.S. utility patent.

Gallium Law regularly represents clients on both sides of the APEX process. For patent owners, we help prepare and file the complaint, present clear evidence of infringement, and guide you through the entire procedure. For Amazon sellers facing an APEX claim, we evaluate the strength of the complaint, prepare detailed rebuttals, and pursue a resolution that protects your business and listings.

APEX decisions are binding within the Amazon ecosystem. Winning an APEX proceeding can result in removal of infringing listings or dismissal of meritless claims. Our attorneys have extensive experience crafting persuasive arguments for this process, giving our clients a distinct advantage.

Licensing and Monetization for IP Owners on Amazon

Not all IP holders aim to remove infringing Amazon listings—many prefer to monetize their patents or trademarks through licensing agreements. Gallium Law helps clients negotiate royalties, draft license terms, and enforce compliance to generate recurring revenue. This strategy is especially effective for patent owners without active listings who want to turn IP enforcement into a valuable income stream.

Defending Amazon Sellers Accused of IP Infringement

If you’re an Amazon seller facing an IP infringement complaint, your listings, account, and inventory could be at serious risk. Gallium Law helps sellers respond strategically by evaluating the claim, preparing defenses or counter-notices, and negotiating resolutions through APEX or licensing. Our goal is to resolve the dispute efficiently and get your business back up and running with minimal disruption.

Proactive IP Strategy for Amazon Sellers

Amazon sellers need a strong IP strategy to avoid accidental infringement and protect their own products from copycats. Gallium Law helps sellers register trademarks and copyrights, assess patent risks, and structure licensing or white-label agreements. With proactive legal support, sellers can safeguard their storefronts, reduce takedown risks, and build lasting value in competitive markets.

IP Monitoring and Repeat Offender Takedowns

Infringing sellers often attempt to relist products under new names or altered listings, making ongoing enforcement essential. Gallium Law offers continuous monitoring to identify and report repeat offenders, helping IP holders maintain control over their Amazon presence. This proactive approach ensures lasting brand protection and prevents the erosion of valuable IP rights.

Tailored Enforcement Across Amazon’s Regional Marketplaces

Infringement on Amazon isn’t limited to one country, and neither is our enforcement strategy. Gallium Law helps clients protect their intellectual property across both the U.S. and Canadian Amazon marketplaces by tailoring enforcement efforts to the specific legal standards and procedures of each jurisdiction. Our coordinated, cross-border approach ensures consistent protection and keeps you ahead of infringers operating internationally.
