Feds To Grant Exclusive Cannabinoid License To Pharma Firm

It would be great if the community could get gene sequencing done on a set of cultivars and transferred the IP rights to a super collective, which could then sue corporations that created plants with any aspect of the community cultivars.

It also seems odd that this company is being given some sort of right to research cannabis but THC is still listed as a schedule I substance. Also even if there is an existing patent or one is granted exclusively for a period of time, won't the patent rights expire at some point so the GMO plants could be copied as 'generic'?

This is unfortunately a clear case of our country placing the property rights of corporations above individuals and the lack of a strong institution to do anything about it. Amerika fail.

Check your Sherman anti-trust act. It's a shell of it's former self after enforcement defunding in the 1980s and Courts rulings ever since to maintain watered-down anti-trust laws.

Before 1980, Exxon Mobil and BP Amoco never imagined merging.

The goal is zero anti-trust regulation and it's proponents are still acting today.

But we still honor Patent laws. Anybody happen to know whether a Patent owner has the legal right to award license to given manufacturer? Last time I checked, patent owners may do this.

This is a really good point.

Pure synthetic THC (i.e., Marinol) is Schedule 3. I'd predict that Sativex, made from natural THC and CBD, will also be Schedule 3 if and when it is approved in the U.S. It's just the plant they don't want us to have.

just like the tax stamp act you actually have to have the genes before you get the patent. and sccording to the feds [who you are applying to for the patent] say your not supposed to have the plant because you didnt get the big grant to do research on pot. its a catch 22 designed to make sure we get ass fucked as hard as possible. they call it full spectrum dominance.
 
welcome to the new world where the government will do it all for you, and by no means can you do it for yourself.

you don't need money anymore either just get in line and the government will give you what they think you need and it will kill you if you consume it.

:tiphat:

Just an opinion for fun not actual opinion, thats not safe to write anymore :blowbubbles:

Exclusive cannabinoid sounds pretty exclusive. Some of IC's more advanced botanists might isolate their own cannabinoid concept and get their own patent. Kinda makes sense that the folks who invest in the research get the leg up on market share. My limited understanding suggests the application carries exclusivity, not necessarily the cannabinoid.

Might the same cannabinoid be granted varying licences for varying afflictions? If the same cannabinoid is manipulated and or applied differently to achieve a different result?

how you do?

how to separate human knowledge to individual knowledge with respect to patent and such?

similar imagine to human experience....one perspective perhap mathematic....such prior human knowledge to share not to patent such 1 and 1 make 2

human build upon share knowledge and share energy

ego hold patent....human hold consciousness and truth within such to determine with respect to preference and to choice

am curious with respect to such patent and prior use? cannabis use to extend with respect to time infinite and prior infinite with not need to incorporate time

at how to know previous human and individual knowledge not to prior use such method?

sure not to bias with respect to technology and knowledge....am keen to relate to pyramid

am keen to think cannabis use not alway to smoke solo....rather total method to ingest and smoke and sprit and spray and topical infinite human knowledge

one perspective perhap such individual not to remember such lovely bountiful love mother earth to share....such fear to limit progress and ego to attach with respect to patent and plant variety right and delivery method

am not keen to patent

with not share to knowledge 1 and 1 make 2 never to grow into such technology within reality within such moment

patent rely to ego

with not ego....patent not exist

much ego to think individual human make seed and create such....rather individual human not more not less simple environment and select pressure to genetic

plant to use individual human....plant to make seed....plant to make variety unique\

total with spite to human obstacle....similar with respect to human desire

at what point to separate you unique path with respect to plant variety and patent and method to extract and such? rather collection to human knowledge to crate such unique perspective and progress

at where am....patent exist within alien reality
similar am keen to discuss

I'm with you, I hope no patent or license ever restricts the would-be legal,whole plant. Not sure I'm against practical solutions that come from a lab either.

But I do understand the idea that awarding patents and the like might restrict our freedoms, product quality or both. In that regard I'm equally concerned. I'm just not convinced this award would necessarily restrict holistic application, even if it happens to be illegal in most parts of the world.

much respect and thank you to share you opinion

such topic close to heart and am much passion with respect to human knowledge and share and progress and compassion and love and positive vibration

am keen to relate one perspective....perhap to applicable perhap not to applicable with respect to patent

such with respect to human knowledge....am not keen to monopoly and human knowledge relate

such similar to at which time most rank and not poor to read and to write and to learn knowledge....such to monopoly knowledge....at where poor and not rank not make available to read and to write and to learn and to progress

similar to patent am keen to such opinion

am bias....such nature to being hehe

thank you DiscoBiscuit and much respect to share with positive vibration....pardon to not read correct you intent with respect to you comment and discussion prior

much respect to total individual opinion and perspective....similar to include even such human to enjoy and encourage patent....much respect and infinite compassion
