What can’t you find on Amazon? As the most global retail store ever, Amazon has become a unique platform where customers can literally find any product they wish and sellers have concomitantly found a marketplace broader than anything they used to operate on. Unsurprisingly, Amazon's commercial success has led to an increased risk of counterfeit products being sold on its platform. How does the platform protect brands to maintain customer trust? What are the proactive and reactive steps taken by Amazon to limit this risk? In today’s episode we discuss the platform’s anti-infringement strategy with Dana Northcott, Vice President and Associate General Counsel, Intellectual Property, who has been with Amazon.com, Inc. for over 12 years. Among her attributes, Dana is notably in charge of designing the company’s intellectual property platform policy and implementing it globally over all its business lines.
Every two weeks, on Tuesday, Brand & New gives the floor to inspiring individuals, with a 360-degree vision, to help brand owners, intellectual property lawyers, and marketing and finance professionals (and beyond!) stay curious and agile in an ever-evolving business environment.
Brand & New is a production of the International Trademark Association

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
