Sellers on Amazon can take advantage of a great tool to have more control over their online store and sales. The Amazon Brand Registry allows owners of a trademark to protect their goods from counterfeiters and those infringing on the brand. There are just three basic 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.
In other words, by filing a trademark application with the USPTO, one can get into the Registry with Amazon in just a matter of days.
