Walmart Brand Portal is a one-stop store management tool designed to help sellers on Walmart US site better manage their brands. It is also designed to provide brand sellers with more protection and support to prevent infringement.
Functional services
1. Manage all brands in one place
Walmart Brand Portal was designed to provide brand sellers with a better and more consistent user experience. To facilitate brand management, sellers only need one portal to:
- Register multiple brands on demand: Walmart platform requires that the trademark is a valid trademark registered with the USPTO;
- Submit intellectual property applications;
- Tracking intellectual property infringement complaints;
- Manage authorized quality assurance agents;
- Get the latest report.
2. Submit various types of infringement complaints
- The core function of Walmart Brand Portal is the infringement complaint submission system. We can report four types of infringements, namely trademark infringement, counterfeiting, copyright infringement and patent infringement.
- Just fill in the relevant information to easily and effectively submit intellectual property infringement complaints. It should be noted that violations of exclusive distribution agreements do not fall within the scope of intellectual property infringement, and Walmart will not accept infringement complaints based on the grounds of "unauthorized sellers."
3. One-click tracking of infringement complaint status
- For infringements by other sellers, after submitting an infringement complaint, we can use Walmart Brand Portal to track the complaint processing process.
- Its dashboard will display every complaint we have submitted through the Walmart Brand Portal website. Simply click on one to get basic information about the complaint and its current status.
