上月末亚马逊品牌备案新政出来了,陆续有人开始备案,并且反馈了一些新的要求,在此我总结下:
1)只有注册成功,即获得R标的商标才可以备案。
2)只有标准字体商标可以备案。
3)不能以授权的方式进行备案。
如果商标不是以 标准字体Standard Character 注册的,那么会收到如下的拒信:
Thank you for your interest in Amazon Brand Registry. We are unable to approve your application at this time for the following reason(s):
-Trademark drawing type is not STANDARD CHARACTER MARK or TYPESET WORD(S)/LETTER(S)/NUMBER(S) (US only)
The drawing type of your Trademark is not STANDARD CHARACTER MARK or TYPESET WORD(S)/LETTER(S)/NUMBER(S). Currently, Amazon Brand Registry can only accept these two types of mark drawing types.

目前美国商标字体有如下几种:
1 – TYPED DRAWING
2 – DESIGN ONLY
3 – DESIGN PLUS WORDS, LETTERS, AND/OR NUMBERS
4 – STANDARD CHARACTER MARK
5 – WORDS, LETTERS, AND/OR NUMBERS IN STYLIZED
6 – FOR SITUATIONS FOR WHICH NO DRAWING IS POSSIBLE, SUCH AS SOUND
比如下面的ANKER商标,其中是含有设计的,那么就属于3:
下面这个ANKER虽然没有设计的元素,但是是黑体的,属于5:
只有下面的ANKER商标才是标准字体,才符合亚马逊品牌备案的要求。
有些朋友会问,我开始注册的商标不是标准字体,后面能不能再注册一个一模一样的商标,但是改为标准字体,再申请注册了?
我理解是可以的,大家可以看到在009电子大类,Anker注册了好几个,有标准字体,也有设计的。(这个问题我问了美国商标局,他们没有正面回答我,让我咨询律师。)
我觉得对这个字体也做出限制,好无聊的感觉。
请问你确定不能接受授权的方式备案吗?
