Amazon Brand Registry Program
Amazon Brand Registry Helps Protect Intellectual Property
Amazon Brand Registry is a program designed to protect your intellectual property while creating an accurate and trusted experience for customers. It gives brand owners additional control over their product information, builds customer trust, and prevents counterfeiters from making unauthorized changes to your product description.
Without proper protection, a product’s manufacturer may not control that product’s listings on Amazon. Similarly, private labelers, contracted distributors, and authorized sellers lack guaranteed brand control. As a result, anyone selling products can modify product details.
How to Check if a Brand is Registered on Amazon
To check if a brand is registered on Amazon, log into the Amazon Brand Registry website using your Seller Central credentials and search for the brand. You can also contact the brand owner for confirmation or look for the “Brand Registered” badge on product listings. For further verification, reach out to Amazon Seller Support with the brand name.
Who Should Use the Amazon Seller Brand Registry?
The Amazon Brand Registry program is for sellers that manufacture or sell their own branded products and own the trademark. The program’s goal is to give priority control to:
- Manufacturers that want to sell their own branded and trademarked product(s)
- Sellers that private label their own branded product(s) and control the trademark
- Distributors, resellers, or individuals with authorization from the brand and trademark owner
To be eligible for the Amazon Brand Registry, your brand must have an active registered trademark in each country where you wish to enroll or have a pending trademark application filed through Amazon IP Accelerator.
Your Amazon Brand Registry trademark must be in the form of a text-based mark or an image-based mark with words, letters, or numbers. Depending on where it is registered, an eligible trademark has different classifications based on the issuing trademark office.
Benefits of Amazon Brand Registry
With Brand Registry, Amazon gives brand owners access to tools that allow you to accurately represent your brand, find and report violations, and share information that helps Amazon proactively prevent violations. Amazon Brand Registry benefits include:
Accurate brand representation gives you more control over product pages that use your branding on Amazon, so customers are more likely to see the correct information associated with your brand.
Powerful search and reporting tools, such as Global Search, Image Search and Bulk Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) Search, help find cases of potential infringement.
Predictive protections are proactive measures that attempt to identify and remove potentially bad listings. The more brands share in the Amazon Brand Registry, the more protection your brands receive.
