How Amazon’s Enhanced Brand Registry Protects Sellers in 2025
Introduction
In 2025, the Amazon marketplace is more competitive than ever — and more vulnerable to counterfeits, hijackers, and unauthorized sellers. If you’ve spent time building a brand on Amazon, Brand Registry is your frontline defense.
Amazon continues to improve its tools for registered brands, offering sellers more control over listings, IP enforcement, and seller visibility. This blog explores how Amazon Brand Registry 2025 works and how to fully exploit its enhanced features.
What Is Amazon Brand Registry?
Amazon Brand Registry is a free program that gives brand owners greater authority over how their products are represented on Amazon. It helps prevent:
Counterfeit product listings
Unauthorized edits to your product detail pages
Unauthorized sellers attaching to your ASINs
IP violations (trademark, copyright, patent)
To enroll, you must have a registered trademark in the country where you sell.
What’s New in Brand Registry 2025?
Amazon has rolled out several updates to strengthen brand protection this year:
1. Brand Catalog Manager with Lock Control
Sellers can now lock ASINs from unauthorized content changes. Only approved contributors can modify images, bullet points, and descriptions.
2. Automated IP Enforcement
Amazon’s new AI tools detect and remove infringing listings faster, often before the brand files a complaint.
3. Enhanced Seller Transparency
Brand-registered sellers can now see who else is selling their ASINs, including marketplace location and feedback history, enabling better enforcement decisions.
4. Report a Violation Dashboard Upgrade
The “Report a Violation” tool now includes bulk ASIN reporting, faster ticket resolution times, and clearer complaint status tracking.

How to Get Started with Brand Registry in 2025
Step 1: Register Your Trademark
You must have a word mark or logo trademark from a government trademark office (e.g., USPTO). Pending applications are not accepted unless filed via Amazon’s IP Accelerator.
Step 2: Apply Through the Brand Registry Portal
Go to brandservices.amazon.com and follow the application steps. Use your seller account credentials.
Step 3: Verify Trademark Ownership
Amazon will email a verification code to the trademark owner’s legal contact (usually your attorney or filing agent). Once verified, your brand is approved.
