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