Wondering if your #cannabis promotion is compliant under the #CannabisAct? Check out this flowchart which @rachelcolic and I developed to help with decision-making (*does not constitute legal advice 🙂)

@SeatGeekHelp Your DM conversation with me has been useless. You said it would take another 3-5 business days for a refund and offered a lower credit than last week. This is, literally, theft.

[Chad Finkelstein @ChadFinkelstein]

@SeatGeekHelp I just did.

@robsarj He does the name proud, but no relation

@mcgovern5487 Thanks Paul. It’s not for me to say whether we have the right number of stores, rather I wanted to offer my perspective on the reason so many are practically on top of one another. Wishing you and your store much success

[Chad Finkelstein @ChadFinkelstein]

There is no one factor to blame for the saturation of #cannabis stores. I believe it is the result of a combination of lack of visibility, scarcity, exuberance and, of course, the pandemic. https://t.co/7985nAgIsq

@picardonhealth @globebusiness Wow, thank you for sharing!

@notorious_ROD Thank you!

Recently, we uncovered a large #restaurant #trademark squatting scheme involving a number of US restaurant brands. Here is @RB_magazine coverage of what’s been going on.

@sharpatwork Thanks! Not sure why I said “as it stands”, though 🤣

[Chad Finkelstein @ChadFinkelstein]

@rachelcolic Am I really that predictable? But also, I have questions. Let’s start with some high-level ones: any way this ad has been targeted, or is it visible to anyone? Can someone make a compelling argument that the Score isn’t about recreation and/or excitement?

[Chad Finkelstein @ChadFinkelstein]

@ms_janeen_davis One of the biggest sources (if not the biggest source) of complaints to cannabis regulators is competitors. It's quite unfortunate.

[Chad Finkelstein @ChadFinkelstein]

@sharpatwork @CJFoxLaw @TimberlakeLaw Thanks Michael!

[Chad Finkelstein @ChadFinkelstein]

@adamwasch @EvanGoldmanEsq @MyFranLawyer Or at the Legal Symposium last May, where I got it! Feel better, Caroline.

Congrats to my friend @paulchodirker on scoring one of the coolest jobs I’ve heard of

[Chad Finkelstein @ChadFinkelstein]

In a decision that should surprise no one, it turns out that selling #cannabis edibles under the #trademark "Skittles", with labelling that resembles the well-known candy constitutes #trademark infringement and depreciation of goodwill. https://t.co/n3sVg1HA3j

Hey #trademark Twitter - ever seen a longer description of goods and services than this application by Emoji Company? Covering the field for any and all conceivable sales of anything featuring the word "Emoji" https://t.co/R1xq4aLXtp

[Chad Finkelstein @ChadFinkelstein]

@Canadaattorney OK, fair point. But that's mainly because CASL really sucks

[Chad Finkelstein @ChadFinkelstein]

I love being a #trademark lawyer. But trademark lawyers are, without a doubt, the biggest nerds of all the lawyers, and there’s not a close second place 🤓 #lawtwitter
