Canopy Growth Has CO2 Extraction Exclusivity?

from The Talking Hedge · host Josh Kincaid

Canadian cannabis producer Canopy Growth is suing Britain’s GW Pharmaceuticals in U.S. federal court. The U.S. patent was issued to Canopy the same day the lawsuit was filed, alleging that GW is knowingly infringing upon Canopy’s intellectual property. GW allegedly uses a Canopy-patented method to extract CBD, the active ingredient in its Epidiolex medication. After obtaining a ruling in Canopy's favor, they would be in a strong position to claim further patent infringement, including against almost every major cannabis-oil manufacturer in the United States. Anyone using a CO2 extraction method would then be using technology owned by Canopy Growth and would owe them money, inclduing 87% of GW Pharma’s revenue that came from U.S. CBD sales.
