Inside job? Amazon’s own brand accused of plagiarism!

According to the report, Amazon is accused of copying original products from small and medium-sized enterprises, producing bulk copies and selling them at a steep discount, and this practice leads to the branded products it copies being copied. Amazon has been accused of abusing its dominant market position.

CNBC broke the story of Peak Design, a supplier of camera bags and accessories that gets most of its sales from Amazon. Peak found that its most popular item, the Everyday Sling Bag, was being competed by AmazonBasics in the form of the same name.

Amazon Basics in its different products to implement the imitation and questioned, but Amazon sold is similar to the third party sellers selling product of Amazon has its own brand products, and hope not across the boundaries of intellectual property, and other retailers to sell between the difference is that the Amazon owns or operates a large number of these small brand sales in the market.

Third party sellers on Amazon’s platform provide sales data to Amazon, and Amazon takes advantage of this. Amazon knows the product SKU and detailed data on sales and returns, which is unfair to other third party sellers.
