Registering your brand with the Japan Patent Office (JPO) is the first step to Brand Registry in this market.
How do I register a trademark in Japan for Amazon Brand Registry?
File with the Japan Patent Office (JPO) in the classes that cover your products, using the exact brand name shown on your products and packaging. Japanese filings often benefit from a local representative. Once the application is filed, check whether Amazon accepts it at the pending stage for Brand Registry, or wait for registration.
How it works here
Japan examines trademarks under a first-to-file system, so earlier filing matters.
Brand names in Latin characters often need a decision about Japanese-script versions too.
