my brand registry randomly got removed today and I'm going to show you how to file the appeal now you may are going to have to look at this other video I also shot on how to remove an attorney from your trademark at the USPTO but let's dive into this so on the email that I received it linked me to the Amazon brand registry submission appeal form and this is what that looks like so I've gone through and filled this out and I was kind of surprised by how much freaking crap they ask for so let me walk you through it uh so first you got to say yes I own the trademark and you file uh and upload a copy of the trademark receipts uh now I don't know what they mean by receipts what I chose to upload was basically a PDF download of the test page showing my trademark now a receipt might indicate like the payment but it seems really weird that they might be looking for payment because all you got to do is look up the public trademark so I don't think that's going to be an issue but you never know with Amazon uh the next part is you're going to which of the two statements uh best applies here to the current manufacturing setup so I have my own manufacturing setup so I've selected that the other option is I have a contract with a third party manufacturer which manufactures majority of the products under the brand uh so if you know I've SE conflicting information on this right so if you have a a manufacturer out of China you technically are still the manufacturer according to uh Amazon but I don't know which of the two they're going to more likely accept so I own a a warehouse in a building over in the Carolinas and we make the soap we have I'll show you my product right here so like we're boxing this over in this specific address I'm going to give them documentation that says that I'm going to show a picture of my soap and and I'll show you some of the things that we chose to do so we we made what's called an a manufacturing certificate there is very little information about this online and what we chose to do is basically indicate uh information about how we manufacture so we put the address of where we manufactur put the address and the name of my Amazon account under age of sage and then we listed out four pages of how we do our manufacturing and how we have quality control and the things we do to make our soaps and and all of that I included a cell phone picture of this item and then I signed it and dated it uh the things that I believe they are going to be looking for address name sign looks like it's official documentation and whatnot uh it's anybody's guess on what they're going to classify as a manufacturing certificate because there's no information on this whatsoever in any help file within Seller Central the next part uh is information about the products so enter the website of my brand I've got AG of sage. us I went ahead and snuck in My AG of sage Amazon page as well because I feel like that helps me I don't know but when you look at the page and it's like super optimized and there's thousands of products it kind of I think it might help me uh are there any other brands currently sold on Amazon in any Marketplace yes list out all of the brand stores I'm going to choose to list out the two brands that I'm active with uh because they use the word currently so I chose not to put a couple of the brands that I haven't quite launched or I'm out of stock entirely on uh and I'm going to put these in and I'm putting the actual vanity URL so amazon.com mobster or Hol it do you sell the products of the brand being appealed on other websites yes enter the title of each product under the brand being appealed now this is going to be a problem because I sld 252 asens uh and I C tried to copy and paste the titles and there's a character count limit so that was impossible so what I chose to do here is I put an example as and title and then I listed out every single as that I've sold in the past 30 days what I did to grab this is I went into the business reports inside a Seller Central and I downloaded that and then I just copy and pasted the as list you only have one two three five different asens you could probably get away with posting the title the final thing they were looking for was an invoice showing the sales sourcing Manufacturing in the last six months which includes one of more of the product names mentioned above and so the key here is that the title of one of the items so this item right here needs to be on the actual physical invoice I have yet to hit this submit button and I'm a little afraid to do it uh but we're going to submit this and see what happens I expect Amazon to probably take a sweet full five days before they um review this appeal I believe it's all going to be manual it's also possible that you might get an instant rejection and I've seen them do that as well uh this has started to happen because Amazon has blacklisted uh hundreds if not thousands of attorneys in the brand registry program and we don't know why uh it could be the attorneys did nothing wrong they're just getting caught up in Amazon shooting first and asking questions later process it could be that the Chinese have attached us attorney trademarks uh names onto some nefarious things who knows I'm speculating entirely uh but what we do know is that Amazon does not like a certain list of attorneys and if that hits your attorney you're going to get your brand registry removed and you're going to need to file an appeal so you're going to follow this appeal process we just talked about you're also going to need to remove the attorney at the USPTO directly and follow this video next which walks through that identity verification process as well as how to get the attorney removed or withdrawn from your trademark once you've done that we believe this will resolve the problem definitely subscribe though for further upates updates on this issue as we investigate this uh we're seeing this pick up and be hit by lots and lots of Brands right now my name is Stephen Pope I'm the founder of my Amazon guy we also file trademarks at my Amazon guy and you can use us we filed more than 2,000 trademarks which is why we know so much about the trademark process the brand registry issues uh we switched attorneys from from one that got blacklisted last year as a heads up um current one in 2023 we've had zero issues so you can order with safety from us cost to do so $925 you could also use the IP accelerator which is $1,600 or sometimes even further you can see the fee breakdown right here if you use the IP accelerator maybe you won't have any attorney issues I don't know um I haven't had any reports one way or another uh but we do offer those trademarks and we go to bat we have like 50 brand registry videos where we talk about everything that could possibly happen and we make sure the trademark it's filed correctly with the proper casing uh and all the information that needs to be used thanks for watching and watch this video next to figure out how to get the attorney removed from your trademark at the USPTO
