Hello from Amazon Selling Partner Support,
Thank you for giving us the chance to help you with getting a Global Trade Item Number exemption for brand [ the mug vault].
After a review, we’ve identified that you haven’t provided images that meet all requirements. The images of the product or packaging should meet the following criteria for granting a Global Trade Item Number exemption:
– Provide images of all six sides of the product and tags, unless it’s not possible to capture a six-sided image (for example, a scarf).
– Product images that you provide in the application must be in focus and show the complete product. The text in the images, such as the brand name, must be clearly legible.
– The brand or publisher name that you provide in the application must be an exact match to the brand or publisher name available on the product and packaging.
– Images must be real-world pictures of the products, meaning that the product and packaging can be held or placed on a table while you capture the image.
– Branding must be permanently affixed on the packaging or on the product.
– The product or its packaging must not have a GS1-certified barcode. If a valid GS1-certified barcode is available, you can use it to list products instead of requesting a Global Trade Item Number exemption.
To help us continually improve, we ask that you take a moment to complete our survey below to tell us about your experience with this specific interaction.

Its hard to advise without knowing hte images you are uploading. is the brand the mug vault how its named on the labelling as well?

I'm confused. It appears you're asking AI to create an image inspired by the work of an artist and wish to claim the results as your own brand.
Leaving aside the ethics of ripping off an artists work for a moment, each piece you create would need its own brand registry which would be a nightmare of constant applications and if someone else instructed AI to produce something similar but not exactly the same any brand registry would be null and void as it isn't an exact replica.
What does the brand represent and how is it unique?

i would gather from the OPs shop they are simply a printing business.
I wouldn't say there is anything wrong with what they are doing, aside from any feelings about the merits of AI generated art in general.
You can't copyright a style of art, its not a direct copy of a Klimt artwork as far as I can tell and most Klimt artwork is in the public domain anyway.

no not at all . i think your confusing a gtin code for each product you list under a certain catogory .. iam on about brand approval .which is applying your brand logo to the product you wish to sell ... once approved , you will then be able to sell this product under ur brand name ..
if you take a look on amazon, there are lots of names which have been approved but dont really mean nothing ... they have just satisfied the branding to the item/product they wish to sell ...
nothing is unquie anymore . its just stuff from shein, temu and ali baba sold at a higher price ..

There's quite a difference between the branding of white label goods (intentionally produced for that purpose) and instructing AI to rip off an artists style/work and claiming the result to be your own brand.
By all means create your own original art with AI, develop your own individual style, that is your own brand. The easiest way to have your branding permanently attached would be to sign those works with your logo (as artists have historically marked their works). But the concept of ripping off another artist and claiming it to be your brand is plagiarism rather than branding.

How is an interpretation of a Klimt artwork (which as far as I can tell is what the OP has shared photos of) in any way plagarism?
Again, you can't copyright an expressionistic style of painting and most Klimt artwork, given he died in 1918, is in the public domain. Frankly the OP could literally reprint actual Klimt art and they'd be fine. As many sellers do.
All they are doing is selling a print and the brand is merely their store. Its in no way different to a seller printing harry potter stuff under licence but the brand on amazon is their store. The brand is just how amazon have decided things should work.
I can't say AI art is for me - but I cannot see that the OP is doing anything wrong here.

Remember you can't be a brand on Amazon unless your have your brand as a registered trademarked with IPO then you can be registered with brand registry - trademark process takes 2-3 months

Plagiarism is the representation of another person's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work (according to Google). If anything the items should be branded Gustav Klimt rather than anyone elses brand, the nuance is how acknowledgement is presented.
I agree, a store can be a brand. The brand defined by logo's displayed on/in the store and/or packaging rather than claiming brand approval for a print of an artists work with a sticker added to the back.
Perhaps i'm getting the wrong end of the stick but the impression I get is that the OP is trying to claim brand approval for a print with a label stuck on the back rather than their Amazon store that customers would be buying from and how the item maybe packaged.

Your brand logo will need to be either on the item or on the packaging. If the art is packaged in a box you will need that box to have your logo printed on it.
For example i sell kids dirt bikes. My logo isn't actually on the dirt bike itself. However the box the dirt bike ships in does have my logo on it. So i uploaded various pictures of only the box with my logo printed on it and my brand was approved.
