The newly issued patents cover two of the Company’s new feminized seed hybrid hemp varieties developed under the Company’s breeding program 

 Charlotte’s Web Holdings, Inc, the market leader in hemp CBD wellness products, has announced that Charlotte’s Web, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, has been granted US Utility Patents for its hemp genetics by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The newly issued patents cover two of the company’s new feminized seed hybrid hemp varieties developed under the company’s breeding program; ’Kirsche’ (US Patent No. 10,888,060) and ’Lindorea’ (US Patent No. 10,888,059).  ’Lindorea’ and ’Kirsche’ are the world’s first two allowed U.S. Utility Patents reading on feminized hybrid hemp plants.

 The company now has earned a total of five U.S. hemp variety patent grants: one Plant Patent and four Utility Patents as it advances the science of hemp horticulture.

“Achieving the first patented hemp hybrids demonstrates that it is possible to improve hemp through similar methods as other agronomic crops using natural breeding techniques.  We believe that ’Kirsche’ and ’Lindorea’ are some of the hardiest botanical hemp varietals under cultivation.” said Bear Reel, Charlotte’s Web vice president of cultivation and R&D and the developer of the new varietals.

’Kirsche,’ having a naturally rich phytochemical profile and good disease resistance, has an excellent plant structure and a flower-to-stem ratio that is compatible with mechanical harvesting innovations. ’Lindorea,’ developed for the Kentucky climate, exhibits broad resistance to fungal pathogens in the North and South Appalachian regions but also in the wetter autumn climate in Ore. while delivering record breaking yields.

 “The ’Kirsche’ and ’Lindorea’ U.S. patents represent more than four years of scientific research and trials, and some of the most cutting-edge work being conducted in genetics in the hemp CBD industry today,” said Deanie Elsner, Charlotte’s Web president and CEO.
