Stockman & Poropat, PLLC strives to provide high quality, creative and streamlined services to our clients to support their goals and businesses. My clients work hard to launch and maintain their E-commerce businesses on platforms such as Amazon or eBay and we make it our responsibility to protect their interests and intellectual property rights as if they were our own. Amazon resellers run the risk of receiving intellectual property complaints on a daily basis, even when they sell genuine items. While the First Sale Doctrine of the United States does provide some protection to resellers, there is an exception to this law which can eliminate the protections offered and subject these resellers to liability for infringement. Understanding how this works will allow resellers to identify and avoid these situations before they occur. Alternatively, in developing a brand, private label sellers always run the risk that their product may infringe upon a trademark, patent or copyright. These private labels must apply a strong due diligence in researching any existing rights before producing and offering a product into the stream of commerce. From helping E-commerce sellers with business formations to resolving their legal issues, Stockman & Poropat, PLLC can handle all of your intellectual property needs.
