BIG Candy Lawsuits Coming

<p>Candy maker Mars Canada Inc. won a lawsuit against cannabis manufacturers who sold edibles online under the guise of Skittles.</p><p>In a Canadian federal court ruling, three cannabis retailers were ordered to pay Mars a total of $144,600 after they were found infringing the candy maker’s trademarks by marketing and selling THC-infused edibles in Canada with logo and packaging “almost identical” to official Skittles products.</p><p>“I also find that advertising and offering for sale of a potentially dangerous product using appropriated trademarks that are evidently and obviously attractive to children represents a marked departure from ordinary standards of decent behavior that deserves to be denounced and deterred.”</p><p>“I agree with the Plaintiff and find the Defendants’ efforts to remain anonymous support the conclusion that they had knowledge of the unlawful nature of their activity.”</p><p>Mars issued a press release announcing it would launch legal action against cannabis retailers who use its trademarks to market and sell THC-infused edibles. </p><p>Episode 1036 The #TalkingHedge with Katrina Glogowski, Seattle Attorney & Angel Investor...</p><p>https://youtu.be/43v_ApKr_uM</p><p> </p>
