Amazon IP Accelerator: What It Is & Why It Matters for Your Brand

For any brand selling on Amazon, protecting intellectual property (IP) isn’t optional – it’s a strategic necessity. Counterfeit risks, hijacked listings, unauthorised sellers & brand erosion are real threats in today’s eCommerce landscape.

Amazon recognised this challenge & created a solution: Amazon IP Accelerator.

Whether you’re a new DTC brand, a scaling manufacturer, or an established retail company entering Amazon for the first time, IP Accelerator helps protect your brand identity faster while enabling key growth tools like Brand Registry.

As an Amazon Ads Verified Partner, RootAMZ helps global brands scale profitably across Amazon ecosystems. While we are not an IP law firm, we guide brands through strategy, activation & post-Trademark success, ensuring you maximise the business advantages this program unlocks.

Today, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about Amazon IP Accelerator & why it matters for your brand’s long-term success.

1. What Is Amazon IP Accelerator?

Amazon IP Accelerator is a program designed to help brands fast-track their Trademark filing & brand protection.

Traditionally, Trademark approval through USPTO or global IP bodies can take 8-12+ months. During this time, brands usually wait before gaining access to Amazon Brand Registry tools.

IP Accelerator eliminates that delay.

It connects sellers to a network of trusted IP law firms pre-vetted by Amazon. Once you file a Trademark through one of these firms, you get early access to Brand Registry even before final Trademark approval.

In short – IP Accelerator fast-tracks brand protection & listing control.
