Ocean Tomo Releases Cannabis Industry Report Highlighting Importance of Intangible Asset Protection
Ocean Tomo releases its Cannabis Industry Report focused on the significant market opportunities and trends in this burgeoning industry. Attention is given to the increasing importance of intangible asset protection inherent in the complex cannabis marketplace.
CHICAGO, Jan. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ocean Tomo, LLC, the intellectual capital merchant banc™ firm, released its Cannabis Industry Report examining the components of market value, challenges and changes in the cannabis marketplace, and the increasingly critical role of intangible asset protection in the industry. Ocean Tomo Cannabis Industry Analyst, Daniel Fang, commenting on the market development, reflects on how COVID-19 has impacted the Cannabis Industry, "contrary to most industries, the cannabis industry saw record growth in 2020 despite COVID-19. Because many retail outlets and dispensaries are 'essential businesses,' they stayed open throughout the pandemic. They adopted new ways of serving customers, from curbside pick-up to drive-through windows and deliveries".
The development of the cannabis industry has been rapid. With recent state legislative support, many competitors in the marketplace have explored new ways to capture market share while transforming their offerings. M&A activity has added to the industry's complexity and has shed light on the importance of intellectual property protection. "Managing a company's cannabis IP requires consideration of the available cannabis patents, plant variety protection, design patents, and trademark protections. These protections vary by country but are imperative to optimize company performance in the developing cannabis market", Mr. Fang concluded.
