Protecting Cannabis IP: Viability of Cannabis Patents, New USPTO Guide on Trademark Applications for Cannabis, Copyrights (Oct. 2019)

Following the encore presentation of their August Strafford webinar, “Protecting Cannabis IP,” Directors Deborah Sterling and Pauline M. Pelletier and Associate Lauriel Dalier will conduct a live Q&A session on Tuesday, October 15, 2019. The program guides IP counsel on the protection of cannabis IP and examines the current cannabis IP landscape, as well as discusses the impact of the legality of cannabis on IP rights. The group addresses what the FDA’s recent hearing on cannabis regulation means for IP and offers best practices for securing IP rights as the landscape evolves.

The panel will take questions on these and other vital matters:

• How is the legal landscape evolving for the protection of cannabis-related IP rights?
• What are the practical implications of legality questions related to cannabis-related goods and services?
• What are best practices for securing IP rights for cannabis-related products?
