I can corroborate the email sent out to sellers. I got it too.

I also follow them on IG and it appears that they have been targeted by someone enforcing trademark enforcement and they cannot afford a fight.

I'd love to find out who the toolbox is that messed up a good thing for everybody because they think they "own a plant"

This doesn't make sense from a legal stand point though. They are a paid advertising site, the breeders or seed cos can't do anything legally considering the status of the marijuana and they would have to go after each seller individually, they could also simply just delete the listings of any sellers violating certain trademarks.
IMO strainly has been pushing hard for funding through numerous campaign emails ive gotten in the past and this all sounds like a load of BS to me and they've run out of money I.e. there business model wasnt profitable and they're choosing to blame breeders as a scape goat.

Strainly is registered in Canada so it would be quite hard for any US breeder to threaten legal action against them.

Sorry to Fletcher!

Strainly IG said the only one who was public about it was Finola--so they were OK mentioning them by name, but that there were 2 others that wouldn't be named.

Don't apologize too quickly, now.


Also, Pink Box seem to be legit. Haven't grown out their clones but have talked with them for a bit about certain cuts. They do send pretty small clones, fwiw.

I'm growing them out to take clones from a stronger plant.

It is stupid but, you underestimate the future. Cultivars will become trademarked and licensed just like the rest of the plant world is. Granted things continue to go forward towards legalization. These types of things will increase dramatically. You want to propagate Knockout Roses you pay a licensing fee. In the future you want to propagate some cookies genetics your likely gonna be paying a licensing fee to do so. Just wait...

The thing is you sold the genetics already maybe you shouldn't of sold the seeds or gave away/ traded the clones now a citation like Lumpys where he had a cut /Cash Cow and a worker stole it ie leaked out the back door and it ended up in breeders hands and they breed with it to make money yeah god dam right i be pissed but that shit happens all the time to a lot people he just manged to hold it hostage longer then most.

But you telling me if you find a bag seed of something which is most likely a lit leak or nute stressed Herm and you grow it out find a winner they think their going to get % of the profits ? I guess i should look into it more so i actually know what their bitch is because i'm unsure i understand what their whole law suite is about because them clowns got them genetic from some older cats and worked with their genetics and found a winner so what now they owe that dude or chick % ?

And FYI someone owes God, Allah, Buddah, or whatever the fuck you so choose to call him, her or it some big back end ! You know the more and more i hear some of the dudes talk the more and more i think they are fucking clown's and Muppet's !

You can bet it’s someone that already has a grip.....
You know what's really easy to do? To search for filed trademarks and/or patents at uspto.org, and find out if the person you're pointing the finger at even owns any trademarks or patents.... you know, something you should probably do before too much diarhea spews from your mouth.

I would agree 100% with this statement. Did you go to law school? haha. We could use a few more rational minds in this group.
