Many Taobao sellers in China want to switch to Amazon, but they don’t know whether to re-register their trademarks. Can domestic trademarks be used on Amazon? Next, let’s take a look at what to pay attention to when registering a trademark.
Can domestic trademarks be used on Amazon?
If you already have a domestic brand in China, you are advised to apply for an international trademark, because domestic brands are only protected by local platforms. If you sell on the US site, your domestic brand is completely unprotected. Therefore, if you want to develop in the international market, registering an international trademark is absolutely necessary! (After understanding, there are actually exceptions. Some people have successfully registered with Chinese brands, but that brand is very large and may not be suitable for ordinary small sellers)
Materials for trademark registration
1. Trademark name or design logo
2. Scanned copy of the applicant's ID card, i.e. personal ID card or company business license
3. Trademark registration product categories
Trademark filing requirements:
1. Trademark acceptance notice
2. Product images with product logos
3. The outer packaging picture with the product trademark
4. Brand website, for example: http://www.BQool123.com/ (simple website)
5. Email address with the domain name BQool123.com as the suffix,
For example: [email protected]
After the above materials are prepared, submit them to the Amazon backend and the filing can be completed within 48 hours. After completion, you can get the GCID code. After obtaining this code, you can protect the editing rights of the listings.
However, the GCID code is not available immediately after it is obtained. You can obtain the GCID code through batch upload mode, and your listing will be protected. If someone follows your lead at this time, you can contact customer service to complain.
If you want multiple sellers to sell the same brand, that's fine. Just register the sellers you want to authorize with Amazon!
Follow BQool and all your problems will be solved. You can easily become a professional brand seller and never have to worry about price wars again!
When your branded product is copied by other sellers, there are two options:
1. You can try to contact the seller who is following you and ask them to remove the listing they are following and give them a chance to mend their ways.
2. You can report it directly to Amazon Seller Support. Amazon will warn the sellers who are copying your products and even remove their selling privileges.
Registering an international trademark is also a protection for your own products. Transactions are connections established across regions, so our trademarks must also be applied for across regions. The above is the content related to trademark registration application in this issue. If you want to get more Amazon information, please continue to pay attention!
