Can I enroll in Amazon Brand Registry after filing my trademark application?

Founder & Trademark Attorney

Yes. Amazon Brand Registry also accepts pending trademark applications. Full registration is not required. The timing of enrollment depends on the type of mark filed.

For a wordmark (brand name), you can typically enroll approximately one week after filing, once the serial number is recorded in the USPTO database.

For a figurative mark (logo), the USPTO must first assign a drawing code to the application. This typically takes up to six months. Enrollment in Brand Registry for a logo trademark is therefore only possible after the drawing code has been assigned.
