📝 What Is Distribution in Amazon Brand Registry?
➤ Brand Registry + Distribution = Control
When you register your brand, Amazon gives you authority to assign or approve distributors or sellers who can list under your brand name.
You can:
- Control who sells your brand via authorized seller lists.
- Prevent unauthorized resellers from uploading listings under your brand.
- Manage MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) and supply chain compliance (manually outside Amazon).
Important Note: Brand Registry does not stop other sellers from selling your branded products if they source them legitimately. But you can challenge counterfeiters or misrepresenters with proof.
🔁 Can I Use My Brand on Different Seller Accounts?
Yes, you can use your registered brand across multiple Amazon seller accounts, but with some conditions:
🔄 How It Works:
- You can link multiple seller accounts to one brand registry account using Brand Registry’s user roles and permissions.
- You’ll need to grant access manually to each seller account.
- You must ensure each account adheres to Amazon’s policies (no fake products, no pricing violations, etc.).
Use Cases in India:
- You have separate legal entities for B2B and B2C sales.
- You sell under one account in India and another in the US/UK.
- You manage your brand while working with a third-party seller or distributor.
🛠️ How to Register Your Brand in India
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Get a Trademark:
- Must be registered or applied (TM status: Accepted) with the Indian Trademark Registry.
- Wordmark is preferred. Logo marks are also accepted.
- Create an Amazon Seller Central account.
- Go to Brand Registry and start registration.
- Enter brand details, trademark registration number, product categories.
- Verification:

🧠 Pro Tips for Indian Sellers
