Trademarked Brands That Get Etsy Listings Removed

Etsy does not wait for a court to decide who is right. When a brand owner files an intellectual property complaint, the listing comes down first — and the seller argues afterwards, usually without success. A single word in a title or a tag is enough to trigger it.

This page is the directory of the brands we track: every one below is a registered US trademark on record at the USPTO, and every one has a page explaining what specifically gets flagged and what wording you can use instead. If your problem is not a brand name but an ordinary English word, start with the everyday words Etsy sellers get flagged for — words like “koozie” and “onesie” sound generic and are not. And if you want the research method rather than a lookup, here is how to check a trademark before you list.

Registration status changes — you can confirm any of them yourself at the USPTO trademark search, and the rules Etsy enforces are set out in Etsy's intellectual property policy.

Apparel, footwear and workwear

Characters and entertainment IP
