Seeking help taking legal action regarding an Amazon matter .
My account is currently active but I have suffered from false IP complaints based on weak and invalid Design Rights and also IP complaints that were not even backed by design rights.
The products I sell on amazon are very generic, common products - which are very plain in design and have been sold online through numerous high street brands for years before the Design Right's used against me were made.( I have proof of this).
My product listing on Amazon itself was even created before some of the Design Rights' registration dates therefore it's impossible that I've copied them .
There have been multiple reports made in bad faith, the first time it happened I was coerced into making a payment to have the complaint retracted .
After researching I feel It's highly likely I could get these Design Rights which have been used in bad faith invalidated by submitting a DF19A form with the IP Office, as they've been used to harm other seller's like myself and boost their own sales, as well as being an exact copy of a product that has existed long before.
The most recent complaint was pretty much anonymous , a gmail email address was left and a link to a similar amazon product , however the case for this is very weak as it isn't supported with a Design Right - which Amazon usually requires, however Amazon often takes the side of complainants without conducting proper checks, I'm not sure if this complaint was by a new seller or the old seller who made the previous complaints. I contacted them and the only response I got was that I'm apparently 'taking their sales'
Due to my listings being deactivated multiple times I've lost the organic search ranks I invested a lot in to achieve , I also paid for PPC advertising on Amazon, at large amount of stock, I've had to pay freelancers to help to fix issues in my listings as a result of the complaints. My sales have dropped by over 70%, The loss in sales has meant I have struggled to pay my outgoings such as tax, stock and other business costs , this has caused severe financial problems within the business.
If you are able to help in any way please let me know

Do you have any records of the prior payments or settlements made to retract complaints, and if so, could you share the terms of these agreements? -
Have you considered submitting a DF19A form to the IP Office to challenge the validity of the Design Rights, or would you like assistance in preparing this submission?
