Facing a sudden product takedown or account freeze before the crucial Black Friday sales period? You are not alone. LawMay has recently secured multiple “Reverse TROs” for Amazon sellers, forcing the immediate restoration of listings in federal courts across several states, including Washington and Illinois.


The Challenge

Malicious or baseless intellectual property complaints are increasingly common. A single complaint can lead to:

  • Immediate listing deactivation

  • Frozen seller accounts

  • Significant loss of sales momentum, especially before peak seasons like Black Friday


Strategic Response

LawMay don’t just react , but act decisively. The approach combines speed with strategic litigation:


  1. Immediate Platform Appeal

    LawMay first craft a compelling appeal within the Amazon system, presenting clear evidence of non-infringement or patent invalidity to seek a fast platform-level resolution.


  2. Aggressive Federal Court Action

    If the platform appeal fails or is delayed, federal court litigation is promptly initiated. By filing a Declaratory Judgment (DJ) action, LawMay request a judge to declare the client's product non-infringing. Concurrently, a Reverse Temporary Restraining Order (Reverse TRO) is sought to compel Amazon to immediately restore the product listing.


Recent Result: Speed is Critical

In a recent case in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, the firm obtained a court order mandating the restoration of the listing within 10 days of filing—potentially one of the fastest rulings of its kind in that court. Subsequently, a Preliminary Injunction (PI) was secured, providing lasting protection for the client throughout the litigation process.


Recommended Next Steps

Time is revenue. When facing malicious complaints, it is advisable to seek professional legal support immediately. The firm offers clear, comprehensive end-to-end solutions designed to protect clients' businesses and help them return to their sales trajectory.
