Episode 69: Robert Wright | Protecting Your Business in a Modern Warzone

Today I speak with Robert Wright, a private label protection lawyer who has helped hundreds of clients across the globe protect their intellectual property on Amazon, Shopify, and other e-commerce platforms. We discuss how the business of Amazon is a warzone and you need to protect your assets, doing what’s necessary to limit your liability. We talk about bulletproofing your brand, which means choosing a trademark that functions as a trademark and that’s available. We mention domains and that you should see if your name is available as a domain, and then Google your brand name to see if anything pops up there. Copywriting is another important step of protecting your business necessary to keep you from future trouble. I tell a story about when I got sued and ended up just reaching a settlement with the plaintiff because of how much goes into a lawsuit, making that the better option.

“So many people when they launch a business, an Amazon business in particular, they think it’s just a set it and forget it sort of thing. ‘OK, I got the account, I got the trademark. Now I’m just adding products and I don’t need to do anything else.’ Nothing could be farther from the truth. If you’re not always kinda managing and tending your business, making sure that the rights you’ve secured aren’t being infringed upon, aren’t being stepped on by other people, what are you doing? Business is war and it’s death by a thousand razors out there.” 21:40
