A brand owner has filed a counterfeit or IP complaint against your listings through Amazon's Brand Registry Report a Violation (RAV) tool. This is different from standard IP complaints — Brand Registry claims carry more weight, can freeze your FBA inventory, lower your Account Health Rating, and lead to rapid account suspension. In 2025-2026, Brand Registry abuse has surged with competitors filing false counterfeit claims to eliminate legitimate resellers. Common triggers: selling genuine products without brand authorization, product condition complaints, listing hijacking, and competing against the brand owner on their own ASIN.
