Navigating the Haze: Trademarking Cannabis-Related Products - Hemp vs. Marijuana

In the shifting landscape of cannabis laws, trademarking hemp products, now legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, presents a unique opportunity. Hemp, defined as cannabis with less than 0.3% THC, is distinct from federally illegal marijuana. To trademark these hemp products, compliance with both the Controlled Substances Act and the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act is crucial. This evolving field requires businesses to be informed and proactive in their intellectual property strategies.
