In 2014 Obama sign the farm bill, Pauli packed his bags and family and moved to Colorado to start studying and working in the hemp industry. He landed at a dispensary that was conducting plant studies on cannabis.Through his studies, he established a routine that promoted a higher cannabinoid concentration and terpene concentration, noticeably larger amounts of CBG and CBD in cannabis. He then applied this method to hemp and had extraordinary success and creating a higher CBD content as well as CBD wall mitigating the THC content in the plant.Pauli has had the privilege and honor to work with some of the best chemists, chemical engineers, and engineers developing new equipment and new standards for the cannabis industry. This is where he was able to learn and study about extraction methods.

Pauli then went on to be a beta tester for breeders and working directly with almost every breeder in Colorado. He’s been cultivating every strain that's been out since it started in Colorado and would provide the Breeders with feedback on the strains they grow, ie the characteristics cannabinoid concentration terpene expression ect.. This ultimately led to Pauli cultivating and creating his own strains with the properties that he considered to be medicinal and of high value. Why does he do it? “Because I love helping people. I like to educate and inform others on the beautiful qualities of hemp and other nutritional aspects of other plant extracts as well. I’ve seen the facts and how hemp changes people's lives and how it can remediate our soil. I am its biggest fan and supporter and know that it's the future of America. This is our Gateway back to our history, where we were once a healthy Nation. My greatest accomplishment is helping people, and throughout every process that helps not only our customers and our growers, but also helps every member of the team, every time, without fail. No exception!.”

“Wow! You work in the weed business? You must be killing it!” If you have ever said that, or thought that, you too, have fallen prey to the misconception. News coverage and reality TV shows make the cannabis industry appear as either the latest wealth generating commodity, or an industry “full of stoner entrepreneurs making money peddling weed”.

Multinational Adhesive Corporation vs Internationally Acclaimed Cannabis Genetic Company

Let’s start with the basics: Gorilla Glue Adhesive Corporation is suing GG Strains, the creators of Gorilla Glue #4, #5 and #1, in Federal Court in Cincinnati Ohio for Dilution, Trademark infringement, Cyber Squatting and 2 other counts of trademark infringement. To be honest, I wasn’t surprised to hear of such a lawsuit. On the face of it all, why on earth would someone name their strain after a federally trademarked product? Let me ask you this: Should Dove Chocolate change their name because of Dove Soap, or vice versa? What about Delta Airlines and Delta Faucets? They coexist, because they are not competing in the same industry. What makes this instance any different?

Gorilla Glue Adhesive (or GGA) has no market share to lose over Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4). They are entirely different types of products. GGA has much more to GAIN in publicity with the considerable amount of popularity of GG4. They aren’t losing any customers from the affiliation. If anything, they have probably gained more customers!

When it comes to legal budgets, this is truly a David and Goliath story. Multinational Adhesive Corporation vs Internationally Acclaimed Cannabis Genetic Company.  

Let’s start with the basics: Gorilla Glue Adhesive Corporation is suing GG Strains, the creators of Gorilla Glue #4, #5 and #1, in Federal Court in Cincinnati Ohio for Dilution, Trademark infringement, Cyber Squatting and 2 other counts of trademark infringement.

To be honest, I wasn’t very surprised to hear of such a lawsuit. On the face of it, why would someone name their strain after a federally trademarked product? I WAS surprised to learn that it is by no means unheard of. For instance, Dove Chocolate and Dove Soap, or Delta Airlines and Delta Faucets. They coexist, because they are not competing in the same industry. What makes this instance any different?
