Protecting Intellectual Property in the Cannabis Industry 2021

As the cannabis industry grows and professionalizes, especially in the U.S., issues surrounding how to effectively protect intellectual property within the industry are coming to the fore with increased frequency. And in an industry that (generally) remains illegal at the federal level, these issues can be fraught. In this episode of our series, our panelists will walk through Intellectual Property issues specific to the cannabis, hemp, and CBD industry, including how business can (and in some cases cannot) protect their brands, trademarks, and patents. We’ll also discuss notable litigation in the space, and how businesses can best position themselves for success in the future.
