How to Report Infringement on Amazon

Amazon infringement is usually a seller lifting your product photos or listing copy (copyright), or using your brand name or logo to sell knockoffs (trademark) — and Amazon treats these as separate report types you file individually.

🕑 Guide last reviewed: July 2026 — Amazon's own process can change; the official link above is always the source of truth.

Amazon gives you two paths depending on your registration status: the public Report Infringement form, open to anyone with no seller account required, or the faster Report a Violation (RAV) tool inside Amazon Brand Registry, which requires a registered (or in some countries, pending) trademark.

Step-by-step process

1

Pick your path

No trademark or not enrolled in Brand Registry: use the public form. Registered trademark and enrolled: use Report a Violation inside Brand Registry — it's faster and unlocks more tools.

2

Select the correct violation type

Copyright, trademark, and patent are each filed as separate reports — Amazon does not let you combine them, even on the same listing.

3

Provide the ASIN(s) and evidence

Include the exact ASIN of each infringing listing, proof of ownership, and a description of what's being infringed.

4

Submit and track

Brand Registry members can track status inside the portal; public form submitters are notified by email.

⏱️ Typical response time: not publicly fixed; Brand Registry reports typically move faster than the public form
