On today's episode, Jeff Schick, Partner of Rafelson Schick and Founder of SellerBasics, talks about what all Amazon sellers should know when it comes to copyright, patent, and trademarks.  We also cover many questions related to Amazon images and who owns them, should you take your own image, what if you hire someone to do your images, and more. Jeff has been an Amazon seller for over 9 years, and ran a multi-million dollar Amazon Seller Central and Vendor Central business in the United States while attending law school at the University of Pennsylvania. Now, Jeff and the entire legal team at Rafelson Schick use their passion for eCommerce and all-things-Amazon to help entrepreneurs grow their business and thrive on Amazon's marketplaces.
