New Seller - How to get Brand Registered
Hi, I am a new seller looking to sell my own fitness & health sourced items on Amazon. These items are not associated with any brand and are generic in nature but I will but putting my logo on them - so they will be part of my own product line. I do not currently have a trademark registered. Is it possible to get brand registered? What is the process for doing so in this case? I was always told I had to get a trademark but I would really not like to go that route as I am just starting out with my product line and would like to test the waters first before making a huge commitment. I want to be able to list my products under my "seller/company" name and not have them listed as "generic" in the search results. Any info is much appreciated, I've always sold on eBay and Etsy prior. But would like to get on Amazon. Thanks!

Hi @Seller_XbcJH0HhHJwo5!
Welcome to the Amazon Seller Forums and congratulations on taking the first steps to selling on Amazon! My name is Jim and I'm a Community Manager here on the Forums; I'd love to help.
First off, if you don't want to go down the route of Brand Registry, you are able to sell an unregistered brand on Amazon. I recommend reviewing the video found HERE. The 5:18 time mark discusses requesting to sell using an unregistered brand.
As for your trademark question, I am no licensed attorney but it would be my recommendation to consult one (if you choose) to decide what's best for your business!
Please let me know if you have any other questions at all and I'd be happy to help!
