As far as intellectual property is concerned, it would be impossible at this time for any company to patent or get intellectual property protection for any MJ plant or variety as long as MJ is federally illegal. However, they could be protected as a trade secret (e.g. the exact formula for making coca cola has never been released). Nevertheless your point about the cultivator having the intellectual property rights would be wrong anyway...

as for your contention...
Proprietary blends of different plant strains would be the easiest way for mCig to have unique trade secrets and set themselves apart from any competition. They could follow the Coca Cola business model and franchise cultivators to produce and distribute their product. There is nothing stupid about this business model. It works well for Coke and many other companies.
It does pose an interesting question though. How are they market testing the product? We may have just stumbled upon what's causing the delays.
