THIS IS AN URBAN MYTH: "RJ Reynolds has recently Trademarked several Marijuana Strain names (Trainwreck,OG Kush etc.)."
There is no category in the US Patent & Trademark office for substances recognized by the federal government as unlawful. A search for all the above marks in the US Trademark registry shows numerous existing trademarks using these names for t-shirts, underwear, toiletries, electronic publishing, etc. Each item listed in their proper category. But, again there is no category in the Trademark registry for cannabis.
You could trademark a strain of tobacco you wanted to call 'Trainwreck'. You could do the same for a watermelon, or a tomato. They are open and available under their specific trademark categories. But, you can't trademark a strain of cannabis under any name.
Whether it's a myth or fact I guess I was not sure at the time I wrote that letter, But the point got across to the legislator and I hope it is getting to you, Big Corporations are interested in MMJ in a big way and for them to take this over in Colorado was not the intent of the voters in 2000.:wtf: I will try to to be more diligent about cross checking what I read in the press, between running business, a full time grow, raising a Daughter and trying to influence the legislature, I'll try harder thanks.:stoned:
