Directors Deborah Sterling and Pauline M. Pelletier and Associate Lauriel Dalier will lead Strafford’s “Protecting Cannabis IP” CLE webinar on Tuesday, August 20, 2019. The directors will guide IP counsel on the protection of cannabis IP and examine the current cannabis IP landscape and discuss the impact of the legality of cannabis on IP rights. The group will also address what the FDA’s recent hearing on cannabis regulation means for IP and offer best practices for securing IP rights as the landscape evolves.

The panel will review these and other vital matters:

• How is the legal landscape evolving for the protection of cannabis-related IP rights?
• What are the practical implications of legality questions related to cannabis-related goods and services?
• What are best practices for securing IP rights for cannabis-related products?
