DENVER, CO – March 28, 2017 – The law firm of Greenspoon Marder is celebrating its continued expansion in Colorado with an opening reception for its new Denver office and a workshop surrounding intellectual property in the rapidly growing cannabis industry on Thursday, April 6.

The interactive discussion will address patents, federal trademarks and protecting intellectual property as it pertains to the cannabis sector. Following the discussion, the Greenspoon Marder team will conduct a workshop to assist attendees in filling out Colorado’s trademark application. The workshop, beginning at 3 PM, will be held at the Four Seasons Denver. The opening reception will follow at 6 PM at Greenspoon Marder’s new Denver office at 1410 Lawrence Street, Suite 1900.
