Kevin Haley and Adam Mooney Pen MaineBiz Article on Trademarks for CBD Products
On February 7, 2024, MaineBiz published an article by attorneys Kevin Haley and Adam Mooney on the trademark issues relating to cannabis products and their suppliers, entitled, “How to find a path to trademark protection for CBD products.” Haley and Mooney discuss the difficulties of securing trademark protections for products that are legal recreationally in 23 states and medicinally in 38 states, but illegal under federal law. They address the regulation of hemp, the applicability of federal definitions of food, the challenges of marketing these products, and protections for marks available at the state level.
