Global Cannabis Intellectual Property Symposium 2023

Product innovation, the science behind health and wellness, technology, design, and branding. Intellectual property drives the cannabis sector and the various legal frameworks within the world of intellectual property are the backbone of law and business in the cannabis sector.

The cannabis sector is unique, where use of IP is a primary route to global expansion. But the application of laws and regulations can be challenging because of the shifting and diverse legalization regimes for cannabis (both marijuana and hemp) around the world. The International Cannabis Bar Association ( INCBA), through the inaugural Global Cannabis IP Symposium, provides IP practitioners with a chance to deep dive on various intellectual property legal issues with experts who have been practicing in this highly regulated field for years.

Join us for this groundbreaking, two-day event that will add to your understanding of the issues surrounding cannabis IP protection and give you a chance to share your perspective. Explore the plant. Learn about creative approaches to IP licensing. Get briefed on international treaties and the resulting challenges and opportunities. Discuss ethics issues unique to practicing cannabis law. Listen to in-house counsel speak about what is important from a business perspective. And of course, focus on patents, trademarks, IP licensing, and dispute resolution!
