You must have a registered trademark to open a store on Amazon.

Amazon Global Store Opening is guided by an account manager throughout the process. You only need to fill in the store opening information and prepare the review materials. After the operation manager contacts you, you can reply with relevant information according to his instructions. After passing the review, you can get the official store opening link. It is recommended to register the brand to prevent copycat sales and increase the credibility of the listing. The trademark registration certificate must be provided for brand registration.

If you just want to open a store, the documents are very simple. Most companies have them, just a business license, credit card and bills. Japan and North America are relatively simple. But trademarks are mandatory, and the trademarks of the sales destination must be protected on the local platform.

What to prepare for trademark application?

The application materials are actually the simplest. However, they are divided into individual applications and corporate applications, and the materials required for the two are different.

Personal application: First, for the trademark pattern, make sure the colors are clearly distinguished (mainly black or color). Otherwise, if you apply for a trademark and someone else applies for the same one but with a different color, they can also apply for it.

Second, a scanned copy of the business license of the self-employed business owner; a scanned copy of the front and back of the personal ID card; contact person, phone number, delivery address, and zip code. The latter are some basic information.

Enterprise Application:

Logo design (black or color)

Scanned copy of business license; contact person, telephone number, mailing address, zip code; selected products/categories and services.

When is the trademark registered?

Generally, the application process takes 12-14 months, so just submit it and wait for good news from the Trademark Office.
