Do we need the trademark Class 35 to sell products on Amazon?

Written by Jan Buza

No. If you are selling your own branded products on Amazon, the relevant class is the one that covers your specific goods; Class 25 for clothing, Class 3 for cosmetics, Class 21 for kitchenware, and so on. Amazon Brand Registry enrollment requires a trademark in a class covering the goods you sell, not Class 35.

Class 35 is relevant if you operate as a reseller of other brands' products or run a marketplace that sells a range of brands. For a brand selling its own products, the product-specific class is the right choice.

Answering all your trademark concerns

Many entrepreneurs still consider trademark registration to be the least important step in the process of establishing their brand. This can become a big issue. Not registering a trademark from the start leaves a company vulnerable to potential copycats and other forms of brand infringement that can significantly damage its reputation and hamper growth.

Generic trademarks: the case of Booking.com

By definition, a trademark needs to display sufficient distinctiveness to identify the origin and ownership of the products and services. That means generic and descriptive words should be avoided at all costs. The landmark case in United States PTO v. Booking.com B.V, however, proves that a generic term combined with “.com” or another top-level domain can be registered as a trademark if there is sufficient evidence of consumer recognition.
