Retail Dispensary
A storefront retailer must have a physical location, including an address where commercial cannabis activities are conducted. This license allows you to sell products at retail to consumers, for their off-site consumption. There will be a limit of three per person in New York State.
Social Consumption Site
A form of “retail” premise whereby patrons 21 years of age or older can purchase at retail and then also consume those cannabis products on-site, so long as they are compliant with local municipality regulations in so doing.
Delivery
New York State’s Delivery license allows a licensee to provide delivery of cannabis products only, via up to 25 delivery personnel, from a central warehouse location. This warehouse location would have to be licensed and bonded, and would not, under any circumstances, allow any patrons on-site. This license specifically does not allow for a consumer-facing retail storefront.

Cannabis Trademark Services
Cannabis is still treated as a controlled substance and is illegal under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), even though many states have individually legalized it under state laws. Therefore, trademarks for cannabis products cannot be federally registered with the USPTO. This poses a hurdle for individuals and businesses seeking to protect cannabis related brands and products from competitors using confusingly similar names. Our cannabis trademark lawyers have significant experience advising individuals and business owners on how to successfully navigate the hurdles of trademark registration in order to develop a brand that can be protected.
