HOW TO PROTECT AND STRENGTHEN YOUR BRAND ON AMAZON

26.02.25 09:06 PM - By Jill

Ever watched a counterfeit product steal your sales while you helplessly stood by? Amazon's marketplace is a goldmine of opportunity—and a battlefield for brand protection. With millions of sellers competing for attention, protecting your intellectual property has never been more crucial.

What Is Amazon Brand Registry?

Amazon Brand Registry is a suite of tools designed to help legitimate brand owners protect their registered trademarks, control product listings, and create enhanced brand experiences on Amazon. Launched in its current form in 2017, this program has become an essential shield for businesses of all sizes.

Why Your Brand Needs Protection

Picture this: You've spent years perfecting your product, designing beautiful packaging, and building customer trust. Then suddenly, knock-offs flood the marketplace—using your images, undercutting your prices, and delivering inferior products that damage your reputation.


Sound familiar? You're not alone.


In 2023, Amazon blocked over 4 million attempted bad actor accounts before they could list a single product. The battle against counterfeits is real, and Brand Registry is your strongest weapon.

Key Benefits of Amazon Brand Registry



1. Powerful Search Tools

Find potential infringements using images, keywords, or ASINs. The system allows you to search for content that might infringe on your brand across Amazon's global marketplaces.

2. Automated Protections

Once enrolled, Amazon's algorithms actively scan the marketplace for potentially infringing content based on the information you provide.



3. Enhanced Brand Content

Create stunning A+ Content (formerly Enhanced Brand Content) with rich text, video, comparison charts, and more to tell your brand story.

4. Brand Analytics

Access valuable insights about customer search behavior, basket analysis, and demographics to inform your marketing strategy.



5. Amazon Stores

Build a multi-page branded storefront on Amazon—at no additional cost—to showcase your entire product catalog.

Maintaining brand consistency across listings Use the Brand Registry's listing management tools to update content across multiple ASINs simultaneously
Standing out in a crowded marketplace Create an Amazon Store and A+ Content to showcase your brand story and unique selling points

Taking Action: Beyond Brand Registry

While Brand Registry is powerful, a comprehensive brand protection strategy includes:

    • Regular monitoring - Schedule weekly searches for potential infringements
    • Trademark vigilance - Consider registering variations of your brand name and logo
    • Customer education - Help buyers identify authentic products through packaging, inserts, and brand elements
    • Expansion planning - Register trademarks in countries where you plan to sell before counterfeiters beat you to it

Is It Worth It?

Absolutely. The cost of trademark registration pales in comparison to lost sales and brand damage from counterfeits. Plus, the enhanced content capabilities often lead to higher conversion rates—some brands report 10-15% increases after implementing A+ Content.
