LES Webinar: Cannabis, Intellectual Property, and Commercialization

The conflicting nature of federal versus state laws regarding the legality of cannabis, both for medical and recreational purposes, can cause complications for those seeking patents, trademarks, or other intellectual property protections, for business growth and expansion, and licensing for their business, IP, or ideas.

This panel will inform the audience of the opportunities and unique challenges the cannabis industry faces trying to develop an intellectual portfolio (including global portfolios), protect and enforce intellectual property rights, grow a cannabis company using IP licensing, and myriad other issues, including the FDA regulations, related to intellectual property and commercialization in the cannabis sector. The panel will also address current trends in IP litigation in the cannabis industry. Lastly, attendees will hear an overview of how IPRs for cannabis are applied in other countries, illustrating the challenges of establishing a strategy for international protection.
