cannabis strain patents
Protect your stable cannabis strains
Patenting is one of the best ways to protect yourself and your inventions, including your stable cannabis strains. Until recently, the United States Patent and Trademark Office has been sitting on literally hundreds of pending cannabis hybrid patent applications. We at cannapatents are excited to announce that this appears to have changed. Carefully drafted cannabis hybrid patents may now be eligible for patent protection.
We strongly encourage all cannabis growers and breeders to consider how to best protect your unique strains. This change of policy is certain to have direct, substantial, and long-lasting consequences for the cannabis industry. As the industry matures, protection of cannabis hybrids will become of singular importance, particularly for growers and breeders.
cannabis technology patents
protect your growing, processing, and transportation inventions
Hybrid strains are not the only inventions that have been created by people working in the cannabis industry. Some examples of potentially patentable inventions are:
- a unique lighting system or lighting fixtures;
- a unique type of planting pot;
- a unique planting medium;
- a method of controlling mildew, fungus, or pests in a grow or processing room;
- a computer-timed automated system for lighting, watering, or harvesting;
- a delivery system, such as a vaporizer;
- a method of processing materials into useful product;
- a method of recycling spent or waste materials
Patents are available for many types of technology so long as they are new, unique, and useful. Contact us today for a free consultation to help you to understand the rules of patenting.
licenses and assignments
transferring your patent rights
Once you've secured your patent you have the right to sell or license it. Whether you're a patent owner or you'd like to use another's invention, we can help you navigate the complex web of laws, regulations, disclosures, and filings to achieve your goals.
trademarks
protect your business and product names
Trademarks protect your business name, product name, or logos. While a patent can protect your inventions, they cannot prevent others from marketing products in ways similar to yours, nor can you be certain a competitor won't accuse you of the same.
trade secret protection and
non-disclosure agreements
another way to protect your inventions
Some inventions and inventors are better suited to maintaining secrecy of a technology rather than disclosing to the USPTO and the public. In these cases, your intellectual property may still be protected by contracts between the inventor and any party they permit to view the invention. Doing so in a legally enforceable way requires careful drafting and attention to detail, as these types of documents are certainly not one-size-fits-all.
