常见问题解答

Discover answers to the cannabis intellectual property questions our clients commonly ask.

Can I Patent My Cannabis Business's IP?

Many cannabis-based companies have patent rights spanning a wide range of assets. The following are generally eligible for patent filing:

  • Plant strains you create
  • Proprietary blends
  • Processes
  • Cultivation techniques
  • Equipment you’ve invented, such as a vaporizer

Obtaining federal patents can be challenging since cannabis is not yet legal nationally. A Harris Sliwoski IP attorney can help you identify patentable assets and create a protection strategy to safeguard them.

What Do My Copyrights Cover?

Copyrights cover original creative works. The protection extends to assets like your website content, videos, and more. The illegality of cannabis at the national level is generally not applicable to copyright protection. So, your business can enforce the laws to prevent someone from distributing, reproducing, or displaying your creative works without permission.

Our cannabis IP attorneys will consult with you about eligible assets and develop protection for them.

What IP Assets Are Eligible for a Cannabis Trademark?

This protection applies to any name, phrase, symbol, or other asset you use for marketing that a customer associates with your brand. As a result of this broad scope, your business may have many assets to protect.

Trademark laws are crucial to help you prevent a competitor from profiting off of your successful brand-building. They’re also vital for your customers’ protection because they help establish your products’ authenticity. While federal trademarks can be challenging to obtain, many states have enacted protection laws that cannabis businesses can benefit from.

An experienced cannabis trademark lawyer from Harris Sliwoski will help you identify which assets are eligible and at which government levels. They’ll also design a robust strategy to protect your trademarks.
