• the contact details of a lawyer or notary who confirms you as the trademark owner
• a list of the product categories in which the trademark is to be managed
• a list of the countries in which the trademark 's products are manufactured.

Once the details have been checked and all requirements have been met, all the benefits of Amazon brand registration can be used.

Conclusion: Trademark registration with Amazon is not a substitute for registration with the state trademark office, but it gives sellers and suppliers more control over the presentation of their products, as well as easy ways to take action against trademark infringements.
