On May 2, 2019, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) issued new guidelines with respect to the examination of trademarks for cannabis and cannabis-related goods and services (the “New Guidelines”) following the recent signing into law of the 2018 Farm Bill. According to the New Guidelines, trademarks filed after December 20, 2018, for certain cannabis-related goods will be accepted for registration.
