Nothing is stopping anyone from renaming or using any existing name used for cannabis strains since you can't trademark anything that violates federal law.
I don't need you replying to my posts with nonsense. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about as usual. You can find all the lawyers you want and come to my state and let them take your money for nothing. They can't change federal law. Maybe instead of trying to discredit me you should educate yourself on federal trademark law. Which is what matters. Anyone can file a lawsuit it's winning that lawsuit that matters.
Until cannabis is legalized at the federal level you will not be issued a trademark. The exception being hemp related products that contain less than .3% THC
"If the identified services involve cannabis that is “hemp” (i.e., contains less than 0.3% THC), the applications will also be examined for compliance with the requirements of the 2018 Farm Bill."
You can't obtain a trademark for goods and services that are illegal under federal law.
Do you have any more dumb shit to post?
From the USPTO United States Patent and Trademark Office:
"Use of a mark in commerce
must be lawful under federal law to be the basis for federal registration under the U.S. Trademark Act. See generally Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure (TMEP) §907.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) refuses to register marks for goods and/or services that show a clear violation of federal law, regardless of the legality of the activities under state law. A determination of whether commerce involving cannabis and cannabis-related goods and services is lawful requires consultation of several different federal laws, including the Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. §§801 et seq., the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. §§301 et seq., and the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, Pub. L. 115-334 (the 2018 Farm Bill), which amends the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (AMA). The USPTO issues this examination guide to clarify the procedure for examining marks for cannabis and cannabis-derived goods and for services involving cannabis and cannabis production following the 2018 Farm Bill."
"When applications recite services involving cannabis-related activities, they will be examined for compliance with the CSA and the 2018 Farm Bill. As discussed above,
the CSA prohibits, among other things, manufacturing, distributing, dispensing, or possessing cannabis that meets the definition of marijuana. Therefore, the USPTO will continue to refuse registration when the identified services in an application involve cannabis that meets the definition of marijuana and encompass activities prohibited under the CSA because such services still violate federal law, regardless of the application filing date."
It's all spelled out on the Federal website for those smart enough to read which apparently is something you struggle with.

I just realized this fool has me blocked so won't likely see my post. Oh well. Let them continue to wallow in the mud like a silly hog.
