In a recent episode of Cannabis Law Report’s “Karma Koala Podcast,” Knobbe Martens CBD & Legal Cannabis practice co-chairs Jonathan Hyman and Jonathan Menkes shared insight into developing IP issues in the cannabis industry, following the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) announcement of a proposed rescheduling of marijuana.

Hyman and Menkes also look beyond the United States and speak to developments in the international cannabis market.
