Amazon and Canon File a Joint Lawsuit Alleging Trademark Infringement

Amazon’s Counterfeit Crimes Unit (CCU) and Canon Inc. have filed a joint lawsuit against a group of bad actors that attempted to advertise, market, and sell camera batteries and chargers in the Amazon store, with alleged infringement of Canon’s registered trademarks.

When Amazon detected the attempted abuse, the company worked with Canon to confirm the products in question were counterfeits and acted quickly to shut down the 29 selling accounts operated by the defendants.

Since its founding in 1937, the Canon brand has been synonymous with quality.

Many of those cameras are sold in the Amazon store, along with associated accessories, chargers, and batteries.
