Our New eCommerce Job Board + Case Study Jun 22, 2018

Show notes

Today I'm flying solo on the mic to share something that we've been working on for a while now (and just launched this month): the eCommerceFuel Job Board. In addition to explaining what it is, I thought it'd be fun to give you an inside look at what's going on behind the scenes. People tend to reflect after the fact when something works, but rarely do you get to see a play-by-play of what's happening, the strategies people are using, how much time and money they put into things, etc. In this episode, I'm giving you just that.

That's right, I'm talking about the GDPR. I've brought John DiGiacomo of RevisionLegal.com back on the show to discuss what the law covers, what your liability is, and what could potentially happen if you don't comply.

Understanding and Defending Trademarks May 18, 2018

Show notes

Today we are continuing our legal series with Internet, Data Privacy, and Intellectual Property Lawyer John DiGiacomo of RevisionLegal.com. John specializes in both IP and businesses on the web—both subjects that a lot of lawyers don't know much about—so it's great to have him back on the show.

Last week we talked about all things patents, and today we're going to do the same with trademarks. This is an interesting and relevant topic, especially given that Amazon Brand Registry 2.0 requires you to file a trademark if you want to have any kind of brand protection. Listen in to hear the crucial things you need to know when it comes to trademarks.

Understanding and Defending Patents May 11, 2018

Show notes

Today we're going to kick off a three-part legal series with Internet, Data Privacy, and Intellectual Property Lawyer John DiGiacomo of RevisionLegal.com. John has been a phenomenal member of the eCommerceFuel Private Community, offering loads of expertise on everything to patents to trademarks to copyright infringement, and I knew I had to get him on the show to share his knowledge with podcast listeners, as well.

In this first episode of the series, we'll be focusing on patents. There's so much to know about the different types, costs, etc.—including whether getting a patent is worth it for stores in the $2 - $10 million range—and John's here to straighten it all out for us.
