The passage of the 2018 Farm Bill and legalization of hemp has opened up many exciting business opportunities for its producers. In this webinar, we’ll discuss how producers can protect their competitive position in the market through the strategic procurement of intellectual property assets.  We will explain the three major categories of IP protections for newly “invented” plants –  Plant Variety Protection Certificates, Plant Patents and Utility Patents – and explain some of the key considerations that go into deciding the right path for your business.
