Intellectual Property Protection

Grow with confidence

Protect your brand and secure your innovation

Safeguard your cannabis innovations, brand assets, and trade secrets with intellectual property (IP) strategies tailored to Morocco’s regulated cannabis sector. We support farmers, cooperatives, and companies in registering, protecting, and enforcing their IP—both locally and internationally.

Why Intellectual Property Protection Matters

The cannabis sector is rapidly evolving—and so is its innovation. From cannabis strain genetics and cultivation methods to product packaging and brand identities, intellectual property is central to market success. For GACP farmers, cooperatives, and exporters, securing trademarks, patents, and confidential information ensures long-term value and competitive advantage, especially when expanding abroad.

Legal Risks & Opportunities

Without IP protection, your brand or products may be copied—causing financial loss and customer confusion. But with expert guidance, your intellectual property becomes a valuable business asset—supporting licensing deals, partnerships, investor interest, and international growth.

Who Intellectual Property Protection Applies To

IP law affects nearly everyone in the cannabis value chain—from creators to cooperatives and companies. Here’s how it applies to different groups:

Individual

For consultants, product designers, or brand creators developing cannabis-related innovations or services.

Essential for cooperatives looking to protect packaging, cultivation know-how, or their collective brand.

Company

Crucial for safeguarding trademarks, proprietary formulations, licensing agreements, and R&D investments.
