How does Amazon store apply for Brand Registry?

It is estimated that the first reaction of the seller when he hears the word “brand registration” will ask: Isn’t this the Amazon brand registry? That is, when you get the certificate after registering the trademark, you can apply for the Amazon brand registry. After the brand is filed, the seller can apply for the GCID exemption, upload the listing without UPC or EAN code, and lodge a complaint righteously after listing hijacking, however, that’s not what the brand registration means here.

What is Amazon Brand Registry?

Brand registry can be understood as that the seller who has applied for brand registry can authorize third-party sellers to sell the products of his own brand through Amazon brand registration. Of course, it is OK if the third-party sellers want to buy products under your brand without registration, as long as the brand owner does not complain.

But there are always accidents. Let me tell you a painful lesson from my own experience. Once my store 1 applied for brand registry, my store 2 directly put the products of my store 1 brand on the shelves, the products appeared on the home page of the category and quantity of the orders was also guaranteed. But one day, Amazon suddenly removed my products from the shelves, and it was useless no matter how to appeal. At this time, we had to move the warehouse, change the label and put them on the shelves again.

Authorizing other stores through brand registration and allowing them to sell your brand’s products will not cause this problem. So how do you apply for brand registration?
