Amazon Brand Registry: What is it? 2018 Edition

Amazon Brand Registry: What is it? 2018 Edition

August 27, 2018 By mysellerpal

As an Amazon seller is it a must that you protect your product listing. Or risk receiving negative reviews from your customers because they received an item not as advertised. And the culprit? Some third-party sellers trying to change your content without your knowledge. The good news is, Amazon is more than willing to protect you as a registered brand owner through their Brand Registry. So let’s get to it! Know what’s in it for you as a brand owner if you enroll you brand to Amazon’s Brand Registry.

What is Amazon Brand Registry?

It’s a way for Amazon to help you protect your intellectual property rights and create an accurate and trusted experience for their customers in return. So it simply means that by enrolling your trademark registered brand on this program, your product listings are safe from unauthorized updates from third-party sellers. Aside from this tough protection from Amazon, they also offer additional tools to optimize your listings.

What are the benefits of registering your brand to the registry?

1. Accurate Brand Representation

You have more control over your Amazon Product Detail page that uses your registered brand name so you are able to provide accurate product information to your customers.

2. Powerful Search Tools

Amazon makes it easy to find potential infringement with custom features designed specifically for brands:

Global Search: Search for content across different Amazon stores from the same screen without having to leave your current page.

Image Search: Find product listings on Amazon that match your products or logos using images.

Bulk ASIN Search: search for a list of ASINs or product URLs all at once to identify and report potentially infringing content faster and easier

After identifying potential infringement violations, simply follow the brand registry’s simple and guided reporting workflow to let Amazon review and handle the rest for you.

3. Additional Proactive Brand Protections

In addition to Amazon’s standard processes to protect their customers, Brand Registry uses information that you provide about your brand to implement additional predictive protections and preventive measures to ensure their customers are protected from false advertising. That is being able to identify and remove bad listings.

The more information you supply Amazon about your brand through their Brand Registry, the more you’re intellectual property is protected from specific violation like the below situations:

  • Product listings that are not for your brand but is using your trademark terms on their titles.
  • Images that contain your brand logo but actual products don’t carry your brand name.
  • Sellers shipping products from countries where you don’t manufacture and distribute your brand.
  • Product listings being created with your brand name when you have already listed your full product catalog on Amazon

4. Brand Registry Support

Support specifically for brand registered owners is available 24/7 to help and provide assistance whenever needed.

How to enroll your brand in Amazon’s Brand Registry?

Step 1. Review eligibility requirements.

Your brand must have an active registered trademark in whatever country you wish to enroll. The registered mark should be in the form of a standard text-mark or stylized text mark with words, letters and or numbers. Each country has specific registered trademark requirements so be sure to check with the applicable issuing trademark office.

 

See examples of marks below:

 

Standard text mark:

Stylized text mark or logo:

Amazon Brand Registry currently only accepts trademarks that are issued by government trademark offices in United States, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Australia, India, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the European Union.

Step 2. Sign in to Amazon Brand Registry

If you meet the eligibility requirements, proceed to sign in to Amazon’s Brand Registry using your existing Seller or Vendor Central credentials.

You can also create one if you don’t have on account yet. It’s free.

Step 3. Enroll your brand.

  • Your brand name with an active registered trademark.
  • The associated government-registered trademark number.
