Amazon Brand Registry: Why It’s Essential & How Trademark Registration Helps You Get Started

If you’re an Amazon seller or planning to become it, protecting your brand is crucial. Amazon Brand Registry provides brand owners with greater control over their listings while preventing unauthorized sellers from misusing their brand name and intellectual property. However, before you can enrol in Amazon Brand Registry, you must have an active registered trademark or a pending trademark registration from an approved government Intellectual Property (IP) office.

In this blog, we’ll explain how trademark registration is essential for Amazon sellers and how Parker & Parker - Advocates can guide you through the process.

What Is Amazon Brand Registry?

Amazon Brand Registry is a program that helps brand owners protect their Intellectual Property, secure their product listings, and prevent counterfeiting or unauthorized modifications to their content.

Key Benefits of Amazon Brand Registry

• Brand Protection – Remove counterfeit or infringing products quickly.
• Enhanced Listing Control – Prevent unauthorized changes to your product descriptions and details.
• A+ Content & Customization – Improve your product pages with enhanced images, videos, and descriptions.
• Brand Analytics – Gain valuable insights into customer behaviour and sales trends.
• Sponsored Brand Ads – Access exclusive advertising tools to increase visibility and sales.

To access these benefits, your trademark must be a text-based mark (word mark) or an image-based mark with words, letters, or numbers (design mark) from an approved intellectual property office.

Why Do You Need a Trademark for Amazon Brand Registry?

Amazon requires sellers to have active registered trademark or a pending trademark registration before they can join Amazon Brand Registry. This means you need to conduct a trademark name search and submit a trademark application online through a recognized authority – Trademark Office.

Approved Intellectual Property Offices for Amazon Brand Registry

Amazon accepts trademarks from official trademark offices, including:

• Indian Patent and Trademark Office (CGPDTM)
• United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
• European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO)
• UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO)

For Indian sellers, conducting an IPIndia trademark search before filing a mark application ensures your brand name is available for registration.

Without a trademark application or registered trademark, you will not be able to access Amazon Brand Registry features or protect your brand from unauthorized use.
