- Trademark strategy: Advising on available protection options, including state-level trademarks and alternative approaches
- Product and strain protection: Supporting businesses in protecting unique genetics, formulations and product concepts
- Cultivation methods and processes: Advising on how proprietary growing or processing techniques may be protected or structured as trade secrets
- Branding and product positioning: Assessing how naming, packaging and brand identity interact with cannabis regulations
