Can I Apply for and Be Accepted into the Amazon Brand Registry with a Pending Trademark Application?
I have applied for trademark registration in US, and my application status is currently pending. It will take a year to achieve registered status.
Can you help with my questions ?
- If our trademark application status is pending, will Amazon accept us into the Brand Registry?
- Can we enroll in the 'Perfect Launch' program without any restrictions?
- What will happen if others start selling under our brand name while our application status is pending? Can we have some protection?
Thanks in advance.

Hi @Seller_TKQfjJwkiaIN3,
Steve from Amazon here, thank you for reaching out in the Forums. You can begin the Brand Registry process with a pending Trademark, please see below for more information on this.
To be eligible for Brand Registry, your brand must have one of the following:
- An active registered trademark in each country where you would like to enroll
- A pending trademark application that is filed through Amazon IP Accelerator
- A trademark that is pending registration in a subset of accepted trademark offices
The trademark must either be a text-based mark (word mark) or an image-based mark (design mark). Additionally, the trademark text must match the brand name that you provide in your Brand Registry application. If your trademark is an image-based mark with words, letters, or numbers, you must upload a copy of the image exactly as it appears in your trademark record.
Once the brand registry process is successfully completed, you will have access to the features that help protect your brand.
Perfect Launch is what Amazon calls the use of five selling programs, they are Brand Registry, A+ content, fulfillment by Amazon, Automated pricing, and advertising - within the first 90 days.
Ready to join them? The playbook is simple:
- Enroll your brand in Brand Registry

Thanks,
Steve
