Brand application rejection
I have tried multiple times to get my brand application, but every time it is rejected as it doesn’t match the image, I own the trademark, and my packaging shows the words CATCH IT
But the throw drop drink which is on the brand name have been turned into images.
Also my packaging contains the words FAST PACED DRINKING GAME as its packaging I don’t know why they think it would only contain the brands name !!
Please can someone help!

When I enquired (and am now Brand Registered). This is my reply from the Brand team:
"Note: Design-only marks and logos aren’t accepted for initial enrollment in Brand Registry. However, once your brand is enrolled, you can request to add design-only marks and logos to your brand.
To find the trademark type on IPOUK, select Names and addresses and then View owner’s other trade marks. Then, review the information next to Mark type.
If you see ‘Word’, your trademark is a text-based mark (word mark). If you see ‘Figurative’, your trademark is an image-based mark (design mark).
Then, select the trademark type under the Select the trademark type section of the Brand Registry application.
Note: Only word mark and design mark trademarks are eligible for initial enrolment in Brand Registry. Other trademark types can be added to your account once you’ve enrolled in Brand Registry."
I have bolded the important bit, so it might be that yours isn't the type of trademark that's accepted?
When I enrolled, I went for a word trademark and they accepted my Brand whilst I was awaiting for the authorisation form IPO, so I wasn't delayed by the month's waiting for IPO, as long as I confirmed the application number to them.
Hopefully this helps.

I don't know what happens to amazon lately but I have a feelng they hired the {moderator edit: Sakura, inappropriate comment} people on Earth to deal with these matters. I am struggling to unlock 5 products and they drive me crazy

Is your trademark a word mark (just text) or a design mark (the logo)? Is your trademark for "CATCH IT" or "CATCH IT!"

Hello @Seller_w3riLyzpJQDlT,
This is Sakura from Amazon. Welcome to the Seller Forums.
I see that other sellers have already provided some important clues regarding the possible rejection reason.
Did you check what your trademark type is?
@Seller_iZL0ysZFrLJmN , Thank you for sharing this communication between you and Brand Registry. It has a lot of important information.
Regards,
Sakura
