[E-trademarks] Cannabis no, vaping apparatus yes?

[Carl Oppedahl]

A listserv member asks to post anonymously.

Just confirming the following with your collective wisdom:

 1. While we cannot successfully register a trademark for cannabis
    products with the USPTO, we can register vaping hardware as
    “electronic cigarettes”;
 2. Any such vaping hardware that displays “Warning! THC!” is likely to
    get rejected;
 3. Deliberately covering up any such warning would be a fraudulent
    specimen; and
 4. Showing only one side of a product, which shows the mark but does
    not show the warning, is sufficient and not fraudulent.

Thank you!
