Commerce minister admits difficult to scrap applications for marijuana patents 

 

 

Commerce Minister Sontirat Sontijirawong has admitted that it is difficult to cancel all the applications for patent registration for  marijuana extracts because many of the applications have been submitted to the Department of Intellectual Property since 2010.

 

However, he said that he has not been complacent about the issue and has assigned the ministry’s legal team to take a close look into the matter.

He insisted that natural extracts from marijuana could not be applied for patent.

I understand the difficulties. Brown envelopes can only pass in one direction, no refunds given.

Paperwork ? Patents sent in ? Ganja will never be legal. Mai pben rai.
