Understanding MAP Pricing and Its Impact on Amazon Sellers
Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) refers to the lowest price a manufacturer allows its products to be advertised for. Distributors and retailers are often required to adhere to this price to maintain a fair market value for the product. However, it’s important to note that MAP pricing violations are not considered intellectual property infringement on Amazon.
What is MAP Pricing?
MAP pricing is a guideline set by manufacturers to control the price at which their products are advertised by retailers. Although distributors must follow these guidelines to remain compliant with their agreements, Amazon does not enforce MAP pricing rules as part of its intellectual property policies.
How Distributors and Rights Owners File Complaints
Many rights owners and manufacturers attempt to enforce MAP pricing on Amazon by filing complaints. However, since Amazon’s policy does not recognize MAP violations as valid grounds for intellectual property takedowns, these complaints are often disguised as intellectual property infringement, such as trademark or copyright violations. This can lead to unfair account suspensions for sellers who are simply pricing their products competitively.
Amazon's Stance on MAP Pricing
Amazon’s platform allows sellers to set their own prices, which may sometimes conflict with MAP agreements between sellers and manufacturers. **Amazon does not intervene in pricing disputes** or enforce MAP violations through intellectual property claims. Sellers who are accused of infringing on intellectual property due to MAP pricing should understand that these complaints are not valid under Amazon’s IP rules.
What to Do If You Face a MAP Pricing Complaint
If you’ve been accused of an intellectual property violation that is actually related to MAP pricing, it’s crucial to address the complaint correctly. Here’s what you can do:
- Review the Complaint: Ensure the complaint is not being disguised as an IP issue when it’s actually a MAP pricing dispute.
- Provide Evidence: Document your pricing practices and any agreements you have with the manufacturer, showing that MAP pricing is not enforceable under Amazon’s IP policy.
- Appeal the Claim: Work with AMZ Sellers Attorney® to draft a Plan of Action (POA) that outlines the real issue and explains why the claim is not valid under Amazon’s IP enforcement policies.
