Do I need Amazon Brand Registry, and do I need a trademark first?
Yes to the trademark, Brand Registry requires a registered or pending Indian trademark filed through IP India, and without it you can't lock down your listing content, unlock A+ Content, or fast-track counterfeit takedowns. Enrolment itself is free once you qualify, and Amazon's internal benchmarks credit A+ Content with a real conversion lift, so file the trademark early even though approval can take months. From 2026, Amazon is also tying FBA barcode use to Brand Registry enrolment, which makes this a launch-week task, not a year-two nice-to-have.
