Seeking Advice on Responding to a Trademark Complaint with Pending USPTO Application
@Atlas_Amazon
I recently received a trademark infringement complaint on Amazon with the reference number 15037363961, concerning the trademark with Serial Number 97691530. After conducting a thorough search on the USPTO database, I found that the status of this trademark is listed as "PENDING."
From my understanding, a pending status indicates that the trademark has not yet been approved or registered. This raises a question about the validity of the infringement claim, as my understanding is that a pending trademark does not confer the enforceable rights that a registered trademark does.
I’m reaching out to the community for advice on how to communicate this to Amazon and request the removal of the complaint. Has anyone experienced a similar situation, and how did you proceed with Amazon in such a case?
Any guidance on drafting a response to Amazon or steps I should take would be greatly appreciated.

Hello @Seller_5esevNKQ7DkPj
"a pending status indicates that the trademark has not yet been approved or registered."
Thank you for the information provided regarding the concern with the trademark complaint you have received. I understand the trademark is pending so you do not believe the complaint to be valid. On our platform, the trademark associated must be actively registered or pending to be considered valid for a complaint.
"I recently received a trademark infringement complaint"
This will mean that you do need to provide the requested information. What kind of messaging have you received at this point? Have you attempted to submit anything as of now? Trademark infringement will require documentation such as invoices or a letter of authorization to be provided. Otherwise, you can work with the rights owner to acquire a retraction.
Please provide additional information regarding the current request of information and actions taken at this point to this thread for continued assistance.
Best,
Atlas
