Nextleaf Solutions Ltd. announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted the Company a patent for a process resulting in a solventless cannabis concentrate, adding to the Company's dynamic and expanding U.S. patent portfolio. The Company owns 12 issued U.S. patents and over 60 issued patents globally for the extraction, purification, and delivery of cannabinoids. Nextleaf's latest U.S. patent covers a process whereby trichomes are made brittle from exposure to low temperatures and separated from plant material during agitation and through a series of filtration. The result is a proprietary full melt bubble hash concentrate, a product category that makes up approximately 10% of the cannabis market in the United States. This patent further enriches the Company's intellectual property around differentiated formats and delivery technology. OILS commercializes its intellectual property in Canada through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nextleaf Labs Ltd. Nextleaf Labs delivered approximately 100 kilos of CBD distillate to one of Canada's top selling cannabis brands during the month of December. Nextleaf Labs' bulk cannabis distillate supply agreement is with a British Columbia-based licensed producer and one of the largest distributors of cannabis products in Canada. Nextleaf expects to continue supplying CBD distillate to the Partner for the purposes of manufacturing CBD based products, with distribution of the Partner's branded consumer products through their existing sales channels.
