What is Amazon Brand Registry?
Brand Registry is a program that helps brands to protect their IP, manage their listings, and access additional tools within Amazon. It is free to enroll in.
What are the Requirements?
To be eligible to enroll in in brand registry you must have an active registered trademark in each country where you would like to enroll, a pending trademark application that is filed through Amazon IP accelerator, or a trademark that is pending registration in a subset of trademark offices accepted by Amazon. The trademark must be either a text-based or an image-based mark.
Where Should you Get Started?
First, create a brand registry account. Your account must have the same credentials as your seller and/or vendor account. (If your seller and vendor accounts have different credentials fix this first).
Next, start the enrollment process which will require you to submit the following information into your brand registry application.
- Your brand name that has an active registered trademark. Amazon also accepts brand names with a trademark that is pending registration in a subset of trademark offices.
- The government-registered trademark number. If you are enrolling with a trademark that is pending registration, you may provide the application number issued by the IP office.
- A list of product categories in which your brand must be listed, for example apparel, sporting goods, or electronics. You should also include categories that you wish to sell in future.
Then, after you submit your application, you will receive a verification code which you will need to send to Amazon to complete the process.
