and Sales
If you would like to purchase or sell an Amazon Account, we will guide you through the entire process from A to Z until the full transfer of your account. We conduct the process under Amazon’s approval in order to avoid any “red flags” or account suspensions. Our experienced legal team can prepare a contract to transfer the account as well as any other assets (inventory, trademarks, etc.). We handle transfers of profitable or empty accounts, while providing step-by-step guidance to ensure a smooth process and changeover.
Our compliance department provides professional advice in the fields of import regulation, label review (Cosmetics, Supplements, Children’s products and more) and test reports (CPSC, UL, FCC). We communicate directly with e-commerce marketplaces (e.g., Amazon) on behalf of our clients, in relation to safety standards and regulations as well as other compliance issues.

Registration
If you have an established brand, it is probably the most important asset of your company. We provide worldwide trademark registration services and have a network of trademark associates in every country. We will help you protect your brand globally, and will teach you how to enforce it.
According to Amazon’s rules, in order to join the Brand Registry Program, a seller needs to hold a registered trademark. Our attorneys provide efficient and affordable trademark registration services, tailor-made for Amazon sellers. Send us a link to your listing and your contact details, and we will do the rest!
Whether you are a seller who invented a brand-new product, a startup owner, or just someone with a novel idea, having a patent will help you to protect your invention and will provide you with many commercial opportunities.
Patents generally protect any new or useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition. Having a registered patent allows the owner to exclude others from making, using, selling, or offering to sell the invention described in the patent. However, a patent is not created simply by inventing a new (or improved) product. Unlike copyrights and trademarks, patent protection can only be obtained by filing a patent application in the country in which you wish to receive a patent. You will then receive approval of the application from the appropriate patent office. Amazon, and other e-commerce sites, will not protect your invention unless you have a registered patent. Once obtained, a registered patent can be a powerful tool to protect your product on Amazon, and other e-commerce sites.
The process for obtaining a patent can be complex and can differ from country to country. It is important to know the relevant laws that govern each country. Our patent attorneys are highly experienced professionals in all areas of patent law including, drafting, filing, enforcing, and developing the best patent protection strategy for your utility and design patents.
and Consulting
Copyrights are created once an idea manifests itself in a tangible form. This is true worldwide. However, in order to legally enforce your copyrights in the USA, you must prove that the work originated from you. The USA Copyright Office requires that you register your work as proof of origin, and only then are you able to enforce your rights in the USA. We have vast experience in USA copyright registration and can help you protect your original work.

The best combination to solve your Amazon problems.

Is It Still OK To Include Inserts In With Your Products?
Let me just put this out upfront: from an account health perspective, we’re not big fans of inserts. We have seen relatively mild inserts lead to long, difficult suspensions. We have seen sellers forget to remove their inserts from FBA products after being reinstated and go right back to an even longer, even more, difficult suspension. And we have seen people gleefully report their competitors for inserts.
