How to Report Infringement in Bulk Using Amazon's ASIN Search Tool
Amazon's Report Infringement form lets brand owners search and report up to 50 ASINs or product URLs at once using a comma-separated bulk entry tool, streamlining intellectual property enforcement.
Overview
Amazon provides a bulk reporting tool within the Report Infringement form that allows brand owners and rights holders to flag up to 50 potentially infringing products at once. Instead of searching for and reporting each listing individually, sellers can paste a comma-separated list of ASINs, product detail page URLs, or a combination of both into a single search field. This feature significantly speeds up the intellectual property enforcement process for sellers managing large catalogs or dealing with widespread infringement.
Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know
- Bulk entry accepts up to 50 items — You can enter a mix of ASINs and Amazon product detail page URLs in a single search, separated by commas.
- ASINs and URLs can be combined — The tool parses ASINs from both standalone entries and full product page URLs, so you can mix formats in one submission.
- Invalid entries are flagged, not discarded — If any ASINs or URLs cannot be processed, they appear above the valid results with a notification, and you can edit and resubmit them without losing your valid entries.
- ASINs are marketplace-specific — The same product may carry a different ASIN on amazon.com versus amazon.co.uk, so you must ensure every ASIN you enter is valid for the marketplace you are currently signed into.
- Proper formatting is essential — Each ASIN or URL must be separated by a comma for the tool to return complete search results.
How the Bulk Search Works
To use the bulk reporting feature, navigate to the Report Infringement form in Seller Central and locate the search field. Paste your comma-separated list of ASINs, product URLs, or a combination of both, then click the search button. The system will parse each entry, extract any ASINs embedded in URLs, and return matching product listings in the results. If any entries are malformed or unrecognized, the tool separates them from valid results and displays them at the top of the search bar with a message indicating they could not be processed. You can then correct formatting errors directly in the search bar and resubmit without starting over.

Why This Matters
Brand owners dealing with counterfeit or unauthorized listings need efficient tools to protect their intellectual property. The bulk ASIN reporting feature saves significant time compared to filing individual reports, making it easier to enforce IP rights at scale.
