Why Brand Registry Matters
Brand Registry is a free programme that gives you access to powerful tools for protecting your intellectual property and enhancing your product listings. Once enrolled, you can:
- Access A+ Content, Sponsored Brands, and your own Brand Store
- Use Report a Violation to flag IP infringements
- Leverage Project Zero to self-service remove counterfeit listings
- Unlock Vine for authentic customer reviews
To enrol, you'll need a pending or registered trade mark. If you haven't started that process, Amazon's IP Accelerator can connect you with vetted legal firms to get things moving.

Standing Out with A+ Content & Brand Stores
Once you're enrolled, A+ Content lets you transform your product detail pages with rich imagery, comparison charts, and brand storytelling. Premium A+ is now available to all brand owners at no additional cost — including interactive modules, video, and carousel features.
Your Brand Store acts as your own multi-page shopping destination on Amazon. You can drive external traffic to it, showcase your full catalogue, and track performance through Store Insights.
