A group of anonymous folks are running a genomics crypto-fund drive to get the Kratom Genome Sequenced and out of the reach of the patents we are seeing infiltrate the cannabis space.
Before you bark "plants can't be patented" stop and search the USPTO. They can and are being patented even on federally illegal plants like Cannabis.
Here is a 2015 cannabis patent that issued and the assignees have 3 more like it and likely many more in the pipeline.
US patents 6,630,507, 9,642,317, 9,095,554, 9370164, PP27,475
from US Patent 9642317
CLAIMS(20)
The invention claimed is:
- A cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof, which produces a female inflorescence, said inflorescence comprising:
a) at least one BT allele, and at least one BD allele;
b) cannabidiol (CBD) cannabinoid content of at least 1.5% by weight;
c) a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cannabinoid content such that the THC:CBD content ratio is greater than 1.4; and
d) a terpene oil content greater than about 1.0% by weight;
wherein the contents of THC and CBD comprise acidic and decarboxylated cannabinoids as measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and calculated based on dry weight of the inflorescence; wherein the terpene oil content is the additive content of the terpenes in the inflorescence’s terpene profile; wherein the terpene profile consists of terpinolene, alpha phellandrene, beta ocimene, carene, limonene, gamma terpinene, alpha pinene, alpha terpinene, beta pinene, fenchol, camphene, alpha terpineol, alpha humulene, beta caryophyllene, linalool, caryophyllene oxide, and myrcene; and wherein the terpene contents are measured by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) and are calculated based on dry weight of the inflorescence; wherein a representative sample of seed capable of producing said plants has been deposited under NCIMB Nos. 42248, 42249, and wherein cellular cultures representative of said plants are deposited under Bigelow NCMA Nos. PATENT201611001, PATENT201609001, and PATENT201612001.
