How to Check Product Patents and Trademarks for Amazon Sellers

“Can I just remove the logo, put my own on it, and sell it?”

Paulina Mason raises the question many sellers quietly ask, and Yael Cabilly doesn’t hesitate to unpack the risk behind it. What seems like a simple product tweak can quickly lead to serious intellectual property issues.

“You can’t rely on the fact that others are selling it,” Yael explains. “That doesn’t mean there’s no patent. It may just not be enforced yet.”

Watch the entire video below as Yael walks through the real process: identifying the original creator, researching competitors, and using tools like patent databases to verify whether a product is protected. She highlights the difference between utility and design patents, and why even small changes may still fall under existing protection.

For sellers focused on scaling, this is not just about research; it is about account protection. One overlooked patent or trademark can lead to sudden suspensions, lost listings, and revenue disruption.

The discussion is perfect if you’re an entrepreneur looking to learn more about trademark and patent registration to protect your business.

The takeaway is clear: guessing is risky, and shortcuts can cost you your business.
