The next webinar in our series covers the trademarking of brands in the cannabis industry.
For decades, the cannabis industry has had to skirt the rules and at times take losses to exist. With traditional brands becoming more litigious against cannabis brands, it is imperative that you have a sound brand development strategy.
Creating consumer loyalty is central to a successful business and having a competent trademark attorney can make market recognition less hazy.
Happening on Tuesday, August 30th at 1 PM CDT, spend an hour with attorneys Thomas Howard and Sahil Malhotra as they discuss the differences in trademark, copyright, and trade secret protection and the process of registration for your brand.
Sign up for this free webinar if you are interested in protecting your company's intellectual property.
