CNBX Pharmaceuticals Inc (CNBX)

What legal work I have done in this area has been with trademarking, but the end result is the same: While the patent office, trademark office, etc allows for a record of a trademark or in this case process, which creates a timeline of when an entity (company) takes legal ownership, that owner must still defend its rights in court(s) by fighting those that attempt to infringe upon the documented trademark, method, process, etc.

CNBX will do this in two ways: 1. By getting a patent on the process they use to analyze biopsies with the CNBX product(s). 2. By defending this patent if they feel someone is infringing.

In 2014, the US Supreme Court did make it harder to patent a method or process, but making something more difficult simply means more documentation, etc. It is a current practice and is completely doable to patent a method or process. The following is how it is spelled out and a link to the basic info for US and international law is below the brief definition:

"In United States patent law, a method, also called "process", is one of the four principal categories of things that may be patented through "utility patents". The other three are a machine, an article of manufacture (also termed a manufacture), and a composition of matter".
