"Battley said the concept doesn't apply to the cannabis industry, as plants can't be patented. “Nobody has any proprietary strains,” he said."

Maybe someone should let Monsanto know?  Maybe patented seeds are a US only thing?

As the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service explains, 'Intellectual property rights in agriculture—for example, patents and plant variety protection certificates—are frequently used to protect technological advances. These rights allow their owners to exclude competitors from ‘making, using, offering for sale, or selling’ an invention for a limited period of time. As the pace of scientific discovery in agricultural biotechnology has accelerated over the past few decades, the use of patents and other intellectual property rights to protect these discoveries has increased tremendously.'
