discuss Showcase and Discuss Marijuana/Pot/Hemp/Cannabis domains

One thing few understand here also is the importance of a good domain to a cannabis startup. They can't get real trademarks. So at best a statewide one, and that's a almost.

If u touch the product anywhere in the system your not trademark enabled in the federal system. Federal courts.

That is a key point. Does that mean you can't trademark a cannabis word (since it is not legal to trade that) or more broadly that you can't have any trademarks if any aspect of your business involves cannabis?

So if you trademark a leaf term for herbal remedies then sell cannabis on it, do you lose your trademark?

There are issued TMs in the cannabis space. I’ve seen them for hemp and canna for sure.

Kieth

Your correct but their cheating; the name of the " new " canna industry is do it right and legal.

Example
Their was cottonkandy * note the k, they
Get cotton Kandy ( like the pink stuff ) trademarked but leave out the " fun " part. Thc or CBD in their trademark filings.

Then one is sitting with investors with a conveyance of fraud. It's a problem

California has some statewide legislation on in state trademarks. But move that out of the state and its worthless. Well I read about this not sure if it happened.

This is even more important in plant genetics in Cannabis. The industry is just at a loss how to protect intellectual property.

Yes, if you trademark a federal trademark and mention what your really doing then you will be denied. If your touching the product in your process.

And if you get it and leave it out it's a conveyance of fraud. You would loose it.

There are all kinds of awarded TMs for CBD. CBD Pet, CBD Liquid Gold are a few and they actually use hemp and cbd in the TM description.

Without stirring up controversy. If you go near a establish family brand or any trademark in fact. You want to piss them off, put Cannabis near their Mark's. They will freak out.

I've had experience in the above, and hit the delete whenever I even sense being close to someone's marks

I forget what the dissolution rate is on the cbd its a trace amount.

If CBD : Hemp part on the delayed farm passes bill I'd think this is a opening for higher concentrations. One would think part of the 4 Billion investment into Cronos is lobbying right now for the above.

I have combos of WEED MD and MED RELEAF in the Uk long before the TM showed up here.

The only reasonable answer to this, is domain ownership. Intellectual property as a whole is becoming irrelevant in the application of useful trade in this industry. That is why I stress so strongly to never settle for low-ball offers. Companies are still drunk from the idea that TMs are there to protect them, they need to sober up and wake up to a new world of real-asset ownership. This applies even more so to the idea of unique genetics and strains.

Don't give into bullies, cheapskates, and back-outs.

People must realize , that HEMP is not used in the same way. CBD derived from Hemp IS NOT the same thing as CBD derived from Cannabis. They DO NOT have the same medicinal qualities

I've heard this from other reputable sources too. A lot of people don't realize there is a difference.

Plenty of uses but I find the best fit for this name is in this niche.

Scientifically different. The general public heres the word CBD. The hear the news on "curing abilities" They see hope before they research. It's night and day. Mass production requires mass extraction , threw the process of processing ex amount of tons of Industrial Grown HEMP threw an Industrial process. the make up of the plant changes as the process continues.
Theres Endless Scientific FACT supporting this. Any basic Google search will lead you there people. Its like buying the really really really x another 97% Cheap Brand Medicine over the real thing.
And to be 100% honest, I dont hold a single Hemp domain that contains ingesting Hemp. I would feel guilty of mis informing the people who simply dont understand the medical differences. I dont think thats cool just to make $.

You seem to be stuck on the fact that hemp food isn’t good because it doesn’t have a medical purpose. Since when does healthy food have to cure ailments? I bet you’d take fruit.com if the owner gave it to you. Hemp food is healthy!!! The data is overwhelming and I already provided a link that shows the benefits...

I sold hempwater.com to these guys - the link has a few paragraphs about hemp nutrition...

FYI, Chong water was awarded a TM for hempwater

duder , your not getting my point.. Its a extremely miss leading Product. is that better ? People are buying under many assumptions that it is "more then healthy". That is does posses "curing properties" They confuse CBD Hemp to CBD Cannabis derivative information. They are simply miss led.

Kieth

Part #1
Hemp is a isolate. Think wey protien off milk in a protien shake. It's a super food ontop of the CBD play that most of us are on this discussion board thinking.

So, just a guess smooth sailing in a trademark filing. Just a guess I'm not a lawyer but hemp is not on the don't use list the federal government has. Like it does with the Marijuana industry.

Part #2
Then there's the cbd part; that's the issue federally. Although used in .03% formulations it appears to be marginally okay.

I do know my investors, and I'm in the industry ( equipment specific to cea and cannabis ). Its unacceptable for at least in what I do too push the federal boundaries. They wouldn't have it. No doubt as the industry moves forward this will be more the norm.

Part #3
And then you can make a couch or shirt out of the rest of the plant. It's a versatile plant.

Please give one example of a buyer or enduser that is misled.

People in the cannabis space are well educated and know exactly what they want and how Hemp, CBD, THC work.

oh man... this is senseless.
imo its an extremely ignorant way to think that during the race to the Billion Hempathon that Companies are not trying to "suggest" to its consumers that HEMP and CANNABIS derivative are the same thing. It baffles me that you would think otherwise. You win.

It baffles me that you write off hemp as if it’s not awesome. You even said you wouldn’t buy any hemp food domains when the reality is, hemp food is healthy.

What companies do to sell their products isn’t my concern. What makes sense domain wise is my only concern!
