Trademark Dispute — Amazon seller copying my product listing

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

Amazon seller copying my product listing. I've been dealing with this for about 12 months now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 8 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the DMCA safe harbor provisions, which requires showing compliant with notice requirements.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
