Many entrepreneurs may find it profitable to sell through the Amazon Marketplace. As Partner Karl Kronenberger said, “The Amazon Marketplace has grown unbelievably over the last four or five years.” However, there are many legal issues to consider, including protecting your intellectual property within the Amazon Marketplace, the threat of so-called ASIN hijacking, and requirements of the Federal Trade Commission.
