Intellectual Property and Cannabis

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'This book is a pioneering exploration of the relationship between the rapidly evolving legal cannabis market and the essential principles of intellectual property. An interdisciplinary group of authors has been able to brilliantly navigate the complexities of protecting traditional knowledge while promoting equitable benefit sharing for the development of cannabis trade and commerce globally. The sources advocate a more inclusive and just legal framework that acknowledges the historical and cultural significances to be accepted in the commoditizing of cannabis.' -- Machel Emanuel, University of the West Indies, Jamaica 'Intellectual Property and Cannabis is the definitive resource for understanding the role of IP in the global cannabis market. This pioneering volume brings together leading experts to address crucial topics-trademarks, geographical indications, Indigenous peoples' rights, and more. With real-world case studies, the book sheds light on challenges and opportunities at this unique nexus of law, culture, and commerce. Essential reading for those shaping the future of the cannabis industry.' -- Jeremy de Beer, University of Ottawa, Canada 'The book stands out as one of the most comprehensive and insightful works on the intersection of intellectual property (IP) and cannabis. It is not only academically rigorous, but also offers a practical blueprint for developing countries to navigate the intricate world of IP protection for cannabis-related products. The authors meticulously explore how developing nations can leverage IP as one of the few avenues to gain a competitive edge and protect their traditional knowledge amidst the rapid and impending expansion of cannabis liberalisation.' -- Daenia Ashpole, Former CEO (Interim) of the Cannabis Licensing Authority, Jamaica
