Budtrader.com, an ancillary medical cannabis industry website that acts as an advertising platform for marijuana businesses, has won a federal trademark from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Budtrader.com was awarded a trademark after 15 months of “legal wrangling,” CEO Brad McLaughlin said in a news release.
“This decision by the feds to grant Budtrader its trademark sets a precedent, and this will hopefully make it easier for others in the cannabis space to do the same in the future,” McLaughlin said. “This decision means we have turned a corner as an industry.”
Over 1 million MMJ patients utilize the website, according to Budtrader.com.
Amid growing criticism, NCIA chief Aaron Smith admits missteps and hopes to move the trade group in a new direction.
15 months of wrangling? Why so long?
It’s the Feds and the current evil Keebler elf AG is a complete douche!
persistence wins.
What is the patent?
Good for this company and wrangling time is worth it for cannabis companies to do so.
