Protect What Makes Your Cannabis Business Unique!

In today's competitive cannabis market, your intellectual property can be the difference between standing out and getting left behind. Join attorneys Jabari Shaw and Michael Stojsavljevic at OCHBS for a hands-on workshop built for cannabis entrepreneurs, operators, and investors who want to turn their brands, innovations, and know-how into real, defensible business assets.

The workshop provides attendees with an understanding of the different types of IP assets relevant in the cannabis industry — trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents — and who should be thinking about these, when, and why. Solid IP protection is becoming more important for cannabis businesses looking to work with investors and partners. This workshop tackles the real-world challenges around legal uncertainty and offers practical tips for building your IP strategy.

Attendees will take away: how successful cannabis companies are securing trademarks, patents, and trade secrets despite the current state of federal law in the United States; how to protect a brand at both the state and federal level, and what to do when traditional routes are not available; the various IP tools available to cover all your brand bases; and how layered IP protections can be developed and used to add value for the IP owner.
