Listing-hijack incidents post-filing

03The challenge

The first listing hijack costs more than 5 years of trademark fees.

Cease-and-desist drafts that nobody reads. Brand Registry rejected because your USPTO filing has a class mismatch. Counterfeits ranking above your hero SKU.

04Approach

Four moves, in order.

01

Search first

Trademark + patent search before you file. Saves time and rejection fees.

02

File correctly

Class selection, specimen submission, response strategy — all locked.

03

Brand Registry

Amazon enrollment + IP defense workflow set up.

04

Defend actively

Takedown playbook, listing monitoring, counterfeit tracking.

04bThe IP journey

Search. File. Defend.

Three moves, two registries. Each step is owned end-to-end — no handoffs, no lost paperwork between steps.

Step 01 · Search

12FAQ

The questions we hear most.

Do I need a trademark before launching on Amazon?

Yes — Brand Registry requires a registered or pending trademark. Filing as a pending application via IP Accelerator is the fastest path.

USPTO or Madrid Protocol?

USPTO first if you're US-only. Madrid Protocol once you're in 3+ markets — cheaper and consolidated renewals.

How long does a trademark take?

12 weeks for the office to respond. 8–14 months for full registration. Brand Registry can use the pending application.

Patent vs trademark?

Different tools. Trademark protects the brand. Patent protects the invention. Most consumer brands need a trademark first; some also need a design patent.

What about counterfeits?

We have a takedown playbook for Amazon and TikTok Shop. We've filed 200+ takedowns across our portfolio. None have been reversed.

They handled the AU launch end-to-end while we focused on supply. We didn't lose a day to vendor coordination.
