The following is an edited transcript of our video Protecting a Brand in the Amazon Brand Registry.
Did you know that 70% of American adults shop through Amazon? That is why it is important to protect your brand on Amazon. The Amazon Brand Registry allows owners of a trademark to protect their goods from counterfeiters and those infringing on the brand. There are three requirements to register your brand with Amazon:
- A pending application or valid registration at the United States Patent and Trademark Office;
- The trademark must appear on the packaging of the products or on the products themselves
- A list of the categories the brand is featured in, such as sporting goods or clothing.
