Germany Plans to Allow Homegrown and Possession of Marijuana

Germany plans to legalize the cultivation and possession of a certain quantity of marijuana for adults from April 1, 2024.

On November 27th, a legislative draft obtained by the German news agency (dpa) revealed that the German government plans to allow adults to cultivate and possess a certain quantity of marijuana starting from April 1, 2024.

Starting from July 1, 2024, it will be possible for cannabis clubs to engage in collaborative cultivation and mutual supply. Adults over the age of 18 will be permitted to possess a certain amount of cannabis, and it will also be allowed to cultivate a maximum of three cannabis plants at home.

The Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Green Party, and the health spokesperson of their parliamentary group announced in Berlin: "In the negotiations, we have agreed to shift the paradigm in drug policy concerning marijuana and recognize the social reality.

The legalization of cannabis is part of a government coalition agreement involving the three aforementioned political parties. Essentially, the plan is to remove the drug from the list of prohibited substances under the Narcotics Drugs Act.

This document still requires approval from the German parliament.

EUIPO Rejects Imiracle’s Opposition to ‘Crystal’ Trademark, Citing Lack of Proof of Actual Use in Slovakia

The EUIPO has ruled that Imiracle failed to demonstrate actual commercial use of its “Elfbar Crystal” brand in Slovakia, and therefore rejected in full the company’s opposition to Shenzhen SKE Technology’s application to register the “Crystal” trademark. The EUIPO noted that the sales records submitted by Imiracle were limited in scope and that the product packaging was in Ukrainian, which it found insufficient to prove that the products had been placed on the Slovak market.
