McDonnell Boehnen Hulbert & Berghoff LLP will be offering a live webinar entitled "Protecting Your Canna-IP: What You Should Know, Now" on May 21, 2019 from 10:00 am to 11:15 am (CT). In this presentation, MBHB attorneys and Patent Docs contributors Nicole Grimm, George "Trey" Lyons III, and Brett Scott will address the unique challenges the cannabis industry faces in obtaining and enforcing intellectual property rights in this space. This presentation will provide an overview of the current status of U.S. canna-patent, canna-trademark, and canna-copyright laws, which include:
• Seeking federal and state trademark protection for cannabis brands.
• Federal copyright protection for original works of authorship involving cannabis.
• Patenting cannabis innovations, including devices and methods surrounding all aspects of the cannabis industry (as well as the plant itself).
• Challenging and enforcing cannabis IP (particularly canna-patents) in light of recent PTAB and district court proceedings.
While there is no fee to participate, attendees must register in advance. Those wishing to register can do so here. CLE credit is pending for the states of California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Virginia.
