Private Label Products

## TL;DR
Private label products are made by one company and sold under another company's brand. For Amazon sellers, trademark status matters because Brand Registry requires a pending or registered trademark for eligible brands.

## Core Explanation
The private-label model separates manufacturing from branding and retail. A merchant can specify packaging, labeling, or product features while outsourcing production. Trademark registration is part of the brand-protection side of the model, and marketplaces such as Amazon use trademark status as an enrollment requirement for Brand Registry.
