AMAZON AUSTRALIA FBA
Awesome news for Amazon Australia sellers
Amazon Australia recently emailed me regarding FBA or fulfillment by Amazon is now launched
For a recap, FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) is a service being offered by Amazon where your products are stored in Amazon’s warehouse, and they send the product to the customer, look after the most of customer service questions and then very 2 weeks they send you a nice payment to your Bank Account.
It’s a real game changer and now will see a huge shift in Amazon’s growth here in Oz.
POWER OF PATENTS
It once happened to me a product that I was selling on Amazon was a great seller, that I had been selling for over 7 years then one day I receive an email from Amazon that I had a patent infringement!!!
A patented product means the design has been protected by submitting a patent and protects the inventors from people copying it. It makes sense and an important part of Commerce that people and organizations designs are protected (and for me, I didn’t even realize it was patented as had been selling it for over 7 years Now I have a process in place that checks patents before even getting samples sent)
Amazon is very diligent and strict with patent infringements.
Once someone says that you have infringed a patent, you have to prove that you haven’t (i.e. presumed guilty).
HOW TO INVESTIGATE A PATENT?
There are two ways to check a products patent:
1. Visit the US Patent site
2. Go to Google, type in the brand name or product name and patent
When you do your Patent search, if you find a similar product, then you definitely want to engage a patent attorney.
This attorney may cost you a couple of hundred bucks but will be well worth it.
In my scenario, I didn’t proceed with a $9,000 order as the patent attorney said the patent would apply and I would be open to enfringing upon it if I stocked the product (hence $200 saved me $9,000…. :))
