What is Amazon Brand Registry and how does it work?

Learn about the programs and tools Amazon offers to help you grow and safeguard your brand.

Building a brand can be an exciting experience and provide a powerful way to connect with customers and build trust. But it can also be stressful as you think about how to differentiate your brand and protect your intellectual property.

Intellectual property can refer to:

• Trademarks protecting designs, symbols, names, and images used in commerce
• Patents providing exclusive rights for an invention
• Copyrights protecting literary and artistic works such as images, books, and films

Amazon Brand Registry provides advanced technology to verify brand owners and stop bad actors from profiting off your hard work. Don’t have a registered trademark? Resources like Amazon IP Accelerator can help. We’ll cover the details in this article.
