Location: Plaza 1
CLE: 1.0 Credit Hours
There has been a recent uptick in the number of competitor complaints submitted to Amazon. Amazon takes action and asks questions later, effectively removing the product from the market and forcing you to address the issue with the party that made the complaint, or wait for the appeal process to run its course. Or, if it is fake reviews, it reduces the status of the seller and impacts whether they win the buy it now window. There are widely varying decisions across the country as to whether this is actionable, and what claims are viable. The program would discuss the process, how to litigate these claims or defend against these claims.
