A large number of sellers have received small red flags

The reason this time is actually related to "Einstein"

That's right
It's the "Einstein" in the textbook
What is going on?
Let’s take a look together

Recently, a seller received a fatal email, saying that his account must be restricted because he might have infringed Einstein's intellectual property rights... At first, the seller didn't take it seriously, but around September 10, his account was frozen .

On August 27, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem took a seller to court for infringing the " Einstein " trademark. I believe everyone knows who Einstein is, but who is the Hebrew University?

The Hebrew University is the first university of the Jewish nation and the highest institution of learning in Israel. It is known as the "Harvard of the Middle East", and Einstein was one of the first directors of the Hebrew University .

Currently, the Hebrew University has registered Einstein as a trademark, with as many as 30 related trademarks, covering a wide range of categories, including education, services, software, clothing , etc.

After the Hebrew University registered the relevant trademarks, these trademarks cannot be used directly.

The incident happened suddenly and many sellers have not yet reacted to what happened. In addition, the Hebrew University’s rights protection action was so fierce that the sellers were also caught off guard.

However, since the case is still a hidden case, the specific status of the lawsuit is still unknown.


Currently, when searching for the keyword "Einstein" on the Amazon platform, many titles directly use the keyword "Einstein", and there are many clothing products involved. Many T-shirts and socks have Einstein's portrait printed directly on them.

Tips from the Editor

Don't be so happy and forget the important things.

Portrait rights and copyrights may also cross the line

Check the listing and pictures immediately

Once infringement occurs

It's not as simple as filing a complaint.
