Common Questions About Cannabis IP and Trademark Law
What Are the Challenges of Trademarking a Cannabis Brand?
Some challenges of trademarking a cannabis brand are shared among all businesses in all industries. Among these challenges, the most pressing is developing logos, slogans, and names distinct enough to comply with trademark uniqueness regulations while solidifying a brand that stands out.
Within the cannabis market, the challenges are greater. The USPTO has declined to grant federal trademark protection for goods containing more than 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis and plant touching services handling goods with more than more than 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis. However, certain states that have legalized medical or adult use cannabis may allow the registration of state trademarks for cannabis goods and services.
