The recent cannabis intellectual property symposium featured leading experts in both the cannabis & IP fields.
Plant Science theme included a panel with multiple decades of plant & environment based research and cannabis industry experience Canada wide.
Dr. Dale C Hunt, veteran Plant Patent Attorney, USA, moderated session. Dr. Anja Geitmann; Dean, Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at McGill, presented on cannabis biology, chemistry, cultivation & post-harvest scientific facts in collaboration with Brendon Roberts; seasoned agriculture educator and cannabis horticulture development track record.
Key takeaways from the symposium emphasized the need for innovative strategies to protect cannabis-related IP, the role of federal legalization in IP matters, and the importance of staying informed about changing regulations.
The symposium shed light on the dynamic and evolving nature of IP in the cannabis sector and underscored the significance of adapting IP strategies to the unique challenges of this growing industry.
Let’s show our support and give the International Cannabis Bar Association a thumbs up, for an excellent first of its kind global IP forum at Canada’s ivy league, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec.
We are all in this industry giving it our all, to work the historically forbidden or misunderstood plant, changing lives and building resilient networks, communities and linkages. If that’s you, you’re in the right sector! No other industry, we’d rather be!
