Amazon Brand Registry
Amazon Brand Registry is a program designed to help brand owners safeguard their registered trademarks on Amazon. This program provides enhanced control over product listings, allowing brand owners to update product details, add images, and upload videos. Additionally, it offers tools to identify and report potential intellectual property infringements on the platform.
To enroll in Amazon Brand Registry, brand owners must possess a registered trademark, either text-based or image-based. Once enrolled, they gain access to a suite of tools and features designed to protect their brand and intellectual property on Amazon. These include advanced search functionalities, global brand protection, and predictive automation to help mitigate the risks of counterfeits and unauthorized sellers.
To join Amazon Brand Registry, you must first secure a registered trademark that corresponds to your brand name and logo as displayed on your products and packaging. The process generally involves:
-
Performing a thorough trademark search to confirm the availability of your desired trademark..
-
Submitting a trademark application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) or the relevant authority in your country.
-
Waiting for the trademark office to review and process your application, which may take several months or more.
-
Receiving a registration certificate once your trademark is approved.
-
You can then use this registration certificate to enroll in Amazon Brand Registry. Because trademark requirements and procedures can differ by region, consulting a trademark attorney or specialist is advisable to navigate the process effectively and manage your trademark registration properly.
