Canopy Growth (TSX:WEED) and Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals (OTCQB:SKVI) has announced the signing of a definitive license agreement for Skinvisible’s patented topical formulations.
As quoted in the press release:
Per the agreement, Canopy Growth is exclusively licensed to distribute Skinvisible’s topical products in Canada, and shall have a first right of refusal for all other countries, excluding China and the United States.
The agreement covers two distinct product lines made with Skinvisible’s Invisicare® technology. Skinvisible will first develop unique topical hemp-based products that will be launched by Canopy Hemp Corporation in Canada and the United States. The agreement also includes potential cannabis-based topical products using the Invisicare® technology when and if federal regulations permit CBD or THC infused topical products for sale in Canada.
“This agreement will have an immediate impact on our hemp product lines as this proven technology can be applied to a hemp oil product in today’s regulatory environment,” said Mark Zekulin, President, Canopy Growth. “Moving forward, cannabis product diversity will be increasingly important and this agreement prepares us for future product opportunities on that side of our business if and when the regulatory environment evolves.”
“This agreement with Canopy Growth Corporation is a significant milestone for Skinvisible,” said Skinvisible President Terry Howlett. “Canopy Growth is the leader and innovator in the cannabis space with over half a million square feet of GMP-certified cannabis cultivation, a robust hemp operation, multiple commercialized brands in Canada, and rapid international expansion and partnerships underway including Germany, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Denmark and Spain. Canopy Growth is the perfect partner to take Skinvisible’s topical products globally, always in keeping with its reputation for only pursuing federally legal opportunities.”
