The unique and rare cultivar they create through cross-breeding is their intellectual property (IP). But here's the problem:\n\nPlant IP protection is currently prohibitively expensive which could lead to a reduction in biodiversity and legacy operators having their IP co-opted unfairly. \n\nCanopyright empowers cannabis breeders by making their cultivar IP protection secure and affordable. (We're talkin $40 instead of multiple thousands.)\n\nFounded by cannabis attorney Jeff Hamilton, Canopyright uses contract law in combination with Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and encryption to facilitate enforcable cultivar agreements so breeders can protect their IP and be paid fairly. Check out our info site www.canopyright.info to see How it Works.\n\nPrivacy is an important aspect of this platform due to cannabis's legalization shifting, which is why we use encryption. Canopyright users can choose to keep their cultivar registration completely private if they like. \n\n*Roadmap* Canopyright.com has launched in the United States and has 100+ rare cannabis cultivars registered. We aim to expand our contract platform internationally in all countries where cannabis is legal to grow. We will be streamlining the user experience, building out our knowledge base and conducting outreach campaigns.

As we expand we hope to offer the same functionality to breeders of all categories - fungi, cacti, flowers, maple trees, grains, etc.\n\n*How does it promote and facilitate cannabis research?\"*  Canopyright was built with the researchers interests in mind. There are over 150 chemistry tags for all of the chemical compounds that have been discovered in the plant. You cannot use these Chemistry tags without uploading documentation of the lab data to prove it.\n\n*How does this promote the fair pay of the plant scientists?*  Cannabis breeders keep a self-stored timestamped sample of their cultivar's fresh leaves in their own freezer in tamper-evident bags. They create contracts that are tied to that sample with growers. If the grower breaks the contract, the plant breeder can enforce the contract through DNA forensics.

It is a tool for cannabis breeders to protect their cultivar IP, as well as a marketplace for rare cannabis genetics. Breeders and cultivators already create cultivar licensing contracts, this just makes it more secure and less expensive. \n\nAnyone can use the time-stamping cultivar registration to save their leaves (homegrowers and licensed producers alike, given that they are in a region that allows cannabis cultivation). But the contracts are only available to licensed cannabis producers and nurseries in the US. \n\nWe are hoping to raise funds to expand internationally, i.e. a nursery in one country could create a contract with a grower in another country and export it to them (all within legal bounds). \n\nThe platform is built on Hedera Hashgraph ($HBAR) and uses Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and encryption to ensure the privacy of our users. The privacy aspect is very important to folks in this industry, not only because of the legal status, but also because cannabis breeders have to protect their strain IP, which is easily stolen and (prior to canopyright) expensive to legally protect. \n\nTLDR / Why should you care? \n\n*If you love cannabis:*  This project will eventually make your weed selection at your local dispensary better. You will experience more variety in your strain choices, and corporations will not be able to trample small farmers because this offers a way for small farmers (legacy operators) to stand up for themselves. \n\n*If you love biodiversity:*  Canopyright promotes biodiversity through disruption of the agricultural supply chain. We are starting in the cannabis sector to break even, then will use the tech for more categories including conservation of rare plant species.\n\n*If you hate corporate takeover and the 1%:*  This puts the power back in the hands of the people by making something that was previously only accessible to the elite (plant IP protection) accessible to all.", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "canopyright"}, "recipient": "0xE4b66C85d9E9222d128e8c62bd74C4ABdCCcA6e3"}}
