The self-service counterfeit removal tool is to be used only to remove counterfeit listings. A counterfeit is an unlawful total or partial reproduction of a registered trademark, or a mark that is very similar to a registered trademark, in connection with the sale of a product. Counterfeiting requires the use of a registered trademark on the product, packaging, or the product detail page to imply that the product is genuine.

Once a brand is enrolled in Project Zero in one country, it is automatically enrolled in other countries where brands have a registered trademark enrolled in Brand Registry.

We are providing brands with an unprecedented level of responsibility and we are willing to do so because we believe that the combined strengths of Amazon and brands can drive counterfeits to zero. Brands must maintain an accuracy of at least 99% in order to maintain their Project Zero privileges. We have a number of processes in place to promote accuracy, including required training as part of Project Zero enrolment and ongoing monitoring to prevent misuse of our tools.

The product serialization service is currently available in the United States, Canada, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, India, Australia and Japan. We are working to expand the service to more countries.
