The Correct Way To Check For Trademarks For Amazon KDP & Print-on-Demand
If there is one thing that will get your Amazon KDP account banned, it has to be trademarks.
In this piece, I’ll dive into the process I follow to ensure titles and subtitles are trademark-free, as well as the extra steps that will save you the time and effort to ensure you are following the rules and protecting your account.
First things first, what are trademarks?
A trademark is a word or phrase that’s legally registered to a company, granting them exclusive rights to use it. This means that only the registered company can use the trademarked title or subtitle.
If you use a trademarked term without permission, you risk facing serious consequences, to the extent of getting your account terminated on both Amazon KDP as well multiple print-on-demand platforms.
