Yes. If you enrolled a brand in Brand Registry prior to April 30, 2017 and your brand meets eligibility requirements, you need to re-enrol your brand in the Brand Registry. Get started now.

Brand Registry does not provide GTIN Exemption. Sellers can apply for GTIN exemption through Seller Central. If your product is already listed on Amazon, you can list your offer on the existing product detail page and do not need to provide a GTIN. If your product is not listed on Amazon, you need to request a GTIN exemption. To learn how to list your offer, see Product Detail Pages and Offers. Please note that this link requires a Seller Central login.

To view the status of a submitted application, please log into your Amazon Brand Registry account and visit your Case log.

Yes. Once a rights owner has enrolled a brand in Brand Registry, they are assigned the roles of Rights Owner and Administrator. The administrator can then add or remove users by logging in to their Brand Registry account and selecting “User permissions” under “Settings”. Please note that additional users will need their own Brand Registry account in Brand Registry, which can be created using their existing Vendor or Seller Central credentials.

• To manage existing users: Click “Manage” next to each user and you can grant roles to the user or remove the roles from the user under your selected brands.
• To add new users: Click “Invite a user to your brand” and fill in the required information, then click “Send invitation”. The new users will need to accept the invitation in order to be added.

To improve the effectiveness of our automated protections, we encourage you to add all active and registered trademarks for your enrolled brand(s) to your Amazon Brand Registry account. You can add a new trademark for an already enrolled brand, with the same mark name, by logging into your account and visiting the Brand Registry Support page. Simply click on “Add additional trademarks” under the “Update your brand profile” section in the menu on the left hand-side of the page and follow the outlined steps.

Yes. For brands with a utility patent, Brand Registry offers a neutral evaluation process within the Report a Violation tool. Currently available only in the US, the Amazon Patent Evaluation Express (APEX) program brings in neutral third-party evaluators who are attorneys skilled in patent analysis, to decide whether an asserted utility patent is infringed. The process is an efficient means for utility patent owners and those accused of patent infringement to address the concerns – it is faster than the court system and is free for the party that the evaluator determines is correct. After reviewing the participants’ written submissions, the evaluator makes a decision, which Amazon follows. Utility patent disputes handled through this process were decided in an average of seven weeks, significantly faster than the median time-to-trial of 2.4 years for a U.S. patent lawsuit.

Currently only available in the US, brands who are utility patent owners and suspect infringement can apply for APEX in the Report a Violation tool on the Brand Registry Portal.

Once submitted, we notify sellers listing on reported ASINs of the process so they can participate in an evaluation and defend their claim if they so choose.

Participation in an evaluation requires both parties to deposit $4,000 with the neutral evaluator. Amazon does not handle the deposit and does not retain any portion of the evaluator’s fee. The evaluator reviews submissions and determines whether the reported listings infringe the patent.

The winning participant receives their $4,000 deposit back. If the evaluator determines the reported ASINs infringe, Amazon removes them. If the evaluator finds in the seller’s favour, Amazon takes no action.

Once an evaluation is complete, winning utility patent owners are granted an APEX ID associated with this decision; brands can use the APEX ID from the winning evaluation to report future infringement of that patent through Report a Violation.

After creating your Amazon Brand Registry account and enrolling your first brand, you can enrol another brand at any time by clicking on “Enroll a new brand” from the home page of your account.

To access Amazon Brand Registry tools and services in other stores, you will need to create an Amazon Brand Registry account using a unique email address in each store you wish to access. The administrator of the Brand Registry account will need to submit a request to add that new email account as an additional user by visiting the Brand Registry Support page.

If your brand is already enrolled in Amazon Brand Registry, but you do not see any of your enrolled brands when logged into your Brand Registry account, you may have logged in using the wrong email and password. Click this link to sign out of your existing Amazon account, and sign into Brand Registry again using the correct email and password. If you forgot your password, you can reset your password here.
