Amazon has pre-negotiated rates for the below services covering a single brand for a single class of goods or services. Additional fees will apply for other services including searching for multiple brands and filing for additional types of intellectual property (e.g., design patents).

Yes. Amazon has pre-negotiated rates for filing trademark applications, but you may also engage law firms participating in IP Accelerator for other IP-related services such as filing design patent applications, copyright applications or developing holistic brand protection strategies. The services and fees for these services are to be determined between you and the law firm.

We regularly monitor the status of trademark applications filed through IP Accelerator. If your application is denied, then you will no longer have access to the brand protection features for that trademark application.

Once Amazon becomes aware that you have filed a trademark application through an IP Accelerator law firm, then we will email you an invitation to enroll in Brand Registry. Once you complete that enrollment, we will automatically enroll you in our automated brand protections, provide you with access to the Report a Violation tool, and you will receive access to other brand-building features.

If your law firm has confirmed they provided your trademark application serial number to Amazon and you haven’t received an invitation to enroll, please contact us here.

No. The most direct way to use IP Accelerator is through the IP Accelerator page under the Service Provider Network found in Seller Central.

The Amazon IP Accelerator program connects business owners with trusted and experienced mediators, including those skilled in WIPO mediation procedures, who have agreed to provide certain services at pre-negotiated affordable rates. WIPO has also offered a 25% reduction on the WIPO Center's administration fees if a party (or both parties) to an intellectual property dispute leverages the IP Accelerator program.
