Some products are designed to be used with other products or support their functionality. These include products like handphone charging cables. We call these "compatible" products.
When listing "compatible" products, you must ensure that their product titles and descriptions do not give your customers the impression that they are official products offered by the brands that manufacture the products whose functionality is supported by your "compatible" products unless this is actually true, to avoid committing intellectual property infringement.

What can I do to reduce the risk of IP infringement when listing "compatible" products?

When listing a "compatible" product, you can use the following terms in its product title or description:

• made for
• compatible with
• intended for
• applicable for
• fits with

We strongly recommend that you format the product title as follows:

If your product is a "compatible" product actually manufactured by the brand:

✔️ Allowed: TikTok Phone Case, compatible with XYZ Phones.
❌ Not allowed: TikTok XYZ phone case

If your product is a generic "compatible" product:

✔️ Allowed: Laptop Sleeves, compatible with XYZ Laptops
❌ Not allowed: XYZ Laptop Sleeves
