Legal Help for Startups in Amazon
with Robert Wright of Private Label Law
Legal Help for Startups is often seen as either not needed or scary. Instead, you can have your attorney/lawyer be a partner in safely growing your business. Robert walks through his simple 4-part framework for how you can make use of a lawyer to avoid simple pitfalls - while keeping moving and not falling into legal perfectionism.
He also outlines the real purpose of trademarks, and also touches on the under-used legal protection: copyright. Move from "Move fast and break things" to a way of growing that is still fast- but avoids unnecessary stress, cost and time.
