SinglePoint (OTC: $SING) and Smart Cannabis Corp. Sign Joint Venture to Integrate, Distribute 'SMART APP' for Cannabis Businesses

SinglePoint (OTC: $SING) and Smart Cannabis Corp. Sign Joint Venture to Integrate, Distribute 'SMART APP' for Cannabis Businesses



SEATTLE - December 5, 2017 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC:SING) today announces a joint venture relationship with Smart Cannabis Corporation (SCNA) (www.smartcannabis.com) in which SinglePoint will license and market Smart Cannabis' SMART APP, an industry specific application that enables cultivators to control entire operations from a mobile device. The SMART APP is leading the way in efficiently cultivating cannabis through the introduction of IoT technology (Internet of Things) to greenhouses. This SMART APP IoT technology measures everything from nutrient levels in soil to watering cycles, to parts per million of carbon dioxide in the air. SinglePoint and Smart Cannabis Corp. will also work together to integrate SinglePoint's bitcoin payment solution. This gives cultivators the ability to collect payment for their sales via the payment application, making for a safer and more secure transaction.


"Cultivators need a solution to secure their payments. We are looking to provide a solution that can be used from seed to sale, the entire life cycle. The transaction from a cultivator to a processor or dispensary can be huge, over $150,000 per transaction, and it is simply not safe or efficient to carry that kind of cash to a transaction. We believe we can help secure and track this transaction with our solution," states SinglePoint President Wil Ralston.

Additionally, SinglePoint and Smart Cannabis Corp. will work together to finalize a track and trace solution. This solution, already available for Smart Cannabis cultivator customers, be developed by SinglePoint and deployed to a consumer base that will bring the solution full circle.

"Consumers who walk into a dispensary, where a cultivator is using our system, will be able to see how, when, and where the product was grown. There is no other system on the market like it and we plan to be the first company to use transparent and traceable blockchain technology to bring this "track and trace" product knowledge to consumers," said Ralston.
John Taylor, president of Smart Cannabis Corp., said the company is excited to "team up" with SinglePoint.

"They are an ideal partner for us to expand our business beyond California for both our current products, our line of innovative automation, and our trace and tracking software solution for cultivators. This joint venture with SinglePoint will give us the ability to market our products on a broader scale. In addition, we believe the uptrend in cryptocurrency use in the cannabis marketplace will continue to expand, and being part of their exchange will help us grow our base business."

SinglePoint is moving into what has been labeled as California's "Green Rush" in a big way. Through joint ventures and acquisitions the company has solidified its beachhead in a state that projects annual cannabis sales around $7 billion. According to Grand View Research, the medical marijuana market is expected to reach a value of USD $55.8 billion by 2025.
SinglePoint and Smart Cannabis Corporation are moving into this major market offering top tier solutions that will drive revenue for both companies.

"We are very impressed with the results that Smart Cannabis has quickly achieved in California, and we believe this relationship with them provides a great deal of synergy, both in California and in the nationwide cannabis business. The company is building a truly innovative product. Our expertise in payment processing and point of sale systems is a perfect fit for the track and trace technology they have developed to date. Our overall goal is to have a fully integrated solution for businesses to manage their day-to-day operations from beginning to end, and Smart Cannabis operates to that same goal with their automated greenhouse solutions. We are glad they have turned to us to collaborate on their software solutions, and to be a part of our bitcoin exchange," said Greg Lambrecht, CEO and founder of SinglePoint.

#AppSwarm and #SinglePoint (OTC: $SING) Finalize Plans for #Cannabis and #Bitcoin Focused #Applications and #Technology

#AppSwarm and #SinglePoint (OTC: $SING) Finalize Plans for #Cannabis and #Bitcoin Focused #Applications and #Technology



TUSLA, Okla. - November 29, 2017 (Investorideas.com Newswire) AppSwarm, Inc. (SWRM) ("the Company") A technology company specializing in the accelerated development and publishing of mobile apps has completed development plans with SinglePoint (OTC:SING) to conduct a shared roll-out of mobile applications specifically geared to solve issues in the cannabis space using the Blockchain technology and Bitcoin payment options. The applications and tech will be modelled and marketed under SinglePoint's SingleSeed subsidiary (www.SingleSeed.com), while AppSwarm (www.app-swarm.com) will provide the necessary technical support and application development. The venture calls for a 50/50 revenue share on all products to be deployed.


The Crypto and cannabis market is in need for technology solutions that can advance productivity and do it safely. AppSwarm and SinglePoint intend to develop mobile applications that address these needs by creating a system that allows a business to see what is going on in the market around them. The mobile apps and tech created will also modernize the consumer experience by adding in SinglePoint's payment features, as well as a multitude of other functionalities that are currently proprietary to AppSwarm.

"This JV with SinglePoint allows them unfettered access to all of the technology we currently have in-house, as well as what we are and will be developing in the near future. With the Crypto space expanding at mind-boggling speed it only makes sense to be partnering with such a prestigious industry leader in SinglePoint," stated AppSwarm CEO Ron Brewer.

SinglePoint and AppSwarm plan to launch the first application mid-January 2018 as well as release additional applications shortly after the initial launch. The first application will provide a base for additional applications and will be a service-based application for the business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) markets.

The cryptocurrency market cap has reached $300 billion, according to marketcap.com, with gains in many of the major currencies, particularly as Bitcoin price has jumped over $9,500. The market cap has been driven by a number of factors, but Bitcoin continues to maintain a 53 percent dominance in the total cap.

The market cap surge has been spurred on by a huge jump in the value of Bitcoin, but other coins have also had excellent weeks. Ethereumand Litecoin had particularly strong weeks, with Ethereum posting an all-time high and other altcoins like MoneroIOTA, and Dash all had a strong showing as well.

The cannabis market is projected to reach $50 billion by 2025. Currently, cannabis is legal in 29 states and the District of Columbia. These mobile applications will be available for use in all states. As new states legalize, the companies will look to grow alongside the new states opening to legalized cannabis sales.

SinglePoint CEO Greg Lambrecht states, "We are excited to be working with AppSwarm on our proposed solutions. What they have shown us they have in-house supports what we are looking to roll out into the industry. We will work with what they have and continue to build new applications to add value. This is really a win-win partnership for both teams as they have great technology and we have capital to roll out a national campaign to quickly start driving positive revenue for both companies."

We develop and publish mobile gaming and business apps, with a focus on accelerating the development of free to play mobile games and fast-track them to market. We partner with game and business developers through joint ventures, royalty agreements, marketing partnerships, and outright purchases through our publicly-traded company on the OTC Markets, ticker SWRM.

#Patents in the #Cannabis Sector; A Growing Trend

#Patents in the #Cannabis Sector; A Growing Trend

#Stocks Mentioned: Veritas Pharma Inc. (CSE: $VRT.C; OTC: $VRTHF), ( $NEPT), ( $GWPH), ( $AXIM), (OTCQB: $LXRP; CSE: $LXX.C)

Point Roberts, WA, November 29, 2017 – Investorideas.com, a global news source and investor resource covering cannabis and hemp stocks issues a sector news alert on patent news and developments and some of the key players.


David Cohen, Ph.D., a patent consultant based in Oakland, California told Investor Ideas, “The US government’s “cannabis is illegal” stance has had little apparent dampening effect on patent activity per se, however it’s likely that the opening of markets by the progressive legalization of cannabis and entry into mainstream medicine will stimulate new levels of activity. The current approximately 1,500 cannabis-related US patent cases can be divided into groups: (1) compositions and preparation methods, (2) characterization of cannabinoids in terms of interaction with human cannabinoid receptors, and (3) treating diseases.”

He went on to say, “Small companies are focusing on novel formulations, disease treatment, and opening up new niches, such as production of cannabinoids by in fermentation vessels, methods used by the pharmaceutical industry for decades, for the production of complex drugs from genetically engineered cells.“

For investors following the sector that are taking note of Patents and IP as a key to success, recent news indicates the trend is definitely on the rise.

Veritas Pharma Inc. (CSE: VRT; OTC: VRTHF; Frankfurt: 2VP), an emerging pharmaceutical and IP development company, through its 80% owned research arm, Cannevert Therapeutics Ltd.  (“CTL”) filed a provisional patent application to US Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) on September 13, 2017 for use of a specific cannabis strain to enhance the actions of opioid analgesics.  An acknowledgement letter from the USPTO was received recently which provided a filing number of US 62/558,021 for this application.

Opioids are substances that are derived from the opium poppy plant.  They bind to the human body’s own opioid receptors to provide pain relief or ‘analgesia’ for patients with acute or chronic pain when prescribed legally; morphine is an example opioid analgesic.  Use of these drugs for a brief time is considered safe for pain management. However, when they are overprescribed and/or frequently misused, they produce a sense of euphoria along with relieving pain.  Hence, drug dependence can occur despite using them as prescribed over prolonged periods with the potential of fatal overdose.  Opioid overdose contributed to more than 33,000 deaths in 2015 according to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Heroin and fentanyl are the most widely known opioids for their illegal, recreational use, abuse potential and fatal overdoses. Cannabis contains substances called cannabinoids that appear to bind to human body’s own cannabinoid receptors to also produce similar effects to those of the body’s opioids in mediating analgesia and behavioral effects.  However, they do not have the same drug dependence or overdose potential.  When cannabinoids and opioids are combined, they appear to augment each other’s effects synergistically.  Therefore, the combination may allow for opioids to be used at lower doses with fewer side effects for the treatment of pain and related addiction.  According Coherent Market Insights*, the global opioids market was approximately USD $17b in 2015 and is forecasted to moderately increase to near USD $26b in 2024.  It indicates that legal cannabis is expected to impact the opioids market growth as it gets adopted as a safe alternative pain relieving therapy to opioids and it is increasingly being used to address related addiction. According to the World Drug Report 2016, approximately 17 million people suffered from opioid drug abuse.

Veritas CEO, Dr. Lui Franciosi stated, “We are pleased with Cannevert’s latest submission to protect its discovery of a cannabis strain that could potentially reduce the dose and side effects of clinically used opioids while maintaining a good pain relieving effect for patients.”  Dr. Franciosi goes on to say, “This strain could be also potentially useful in addressing the current fentanyl crisis throughout North America.  If we’re targeting pain or opioid addiction, we want to deliver a scientifically tested, standardized product that clinicians can rely upon.”

On Monday, Neptune Technologies & Bioressources Inc. (NASDAQ:NEPT)(TSX:NEPT), announced an exclusive, worldwide and royalty bearing licensing agreement for the use of the MaxSimil® technology, a patented omega-3 fatty acid delivery technology and strong growth driver of Neptune's Solutions business, in combination with cannabis-derived products.

This new agreement allows Neptune to research, manufacture, formulate, distribute and sell monoglyceride omega-3-rich ingredients in combination with cannabis and/or cannabinoid-rich hemp-derived ingredients for medical and adult use applications.

As indicated in the past, the Company believes the MaxSimil® technology has the ability to enhance absorption of lipid-based and lipid soluble ingredients such as cannabinoids, essential fatty acids including EPA and DHA omega-3s, vitamins A, D, K and E, CoQ10 and others. This could be especially beneficial in increasing the absorption of ingredients which are not easily absorbed, such as cannabidiol (CBD).

"Neptune's strategy is to position itself in segments characterized by size and growth and the legal cannabis industry fits well with this and our wellness mission. Our core competencies in science, regulatory affairs, formulation, commercialization and oil extraction are tremendous foundations to position ourselves for success. Over the past year, MaxSimil® has been a proven winner in our Solutions Business and we are excited to apply this technology to cannabis-derived products. We will now begin investigating the impact of this innovative technology on the absorption and benefits of cannabis and cannabinoid ingredients," said Jim Hamilton, President & CEO of Neptune.

The Company submitted a written application to Health Canada to produce cannabis oil under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR), which at this time has been confirmed by the agency as being at the Review and Security Clearance stage (stage 2 of 6). 

On October 31st, 2017, Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (OTCQB:LXRP) (CSE:LXX), a drug delivery platform innovator, announced “it has received a new Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") for the use of its technology as a delivery platform for all cannabinoids including THC; fat soluble vitamins; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain medications ("NSAIDs"); and nicotine.

This Notice of Allowance applies to the delivery of all active pharmacological ingredients ("APIs") Lexaria had been seeking.  While Lexaria has always had confidence in its patent applications, the rapid allowance for this broad API applicability is significantly ahead of Company expectations. As was true with the Company's existing non-psychoactive cannabinoid patent that was granted in 2016, Lexaria expects formal patent issuance within three to four months which is expected to provide protection until at least 2035.

Under USPTO practice, there is no opposition period between allowance and issuance. The patent application number is 15/225,799, "Food and Beverage Compositions Infused With Lipophilic Active Agents and Methods of Use Thereof".

Earlier in October, AXIM® Biotechnologies, Inc. (OTC: AXIM), a company in cannabinoid research and development, announced that “the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a Notice of Allowance for U.S. Application Serial Number 14/982,610, a patent that claims the use of an ophthalmic solution comprising cannabinoids for the treatment of glaucoma and symptomatic relief of conjunctival inflammation. A Notice of Allowance is issued after the USPTO makes a determination that a patent can be granted from AXIM’s patent application, 14/982,610, filed in December 2015.

AXIM® Biotech announced on March 21, 2017 that it retained the services of Ora®, Inc., a global Contract Research Organization (“CRO”), to perform the company’s product development (based on AXIM’s IP) in glaucoma and dry eye syndrome utilizing cannabinoid-based therapeutics through its AX-1603 and AX-1606 clinical programs.“

GW Pharmaceuticals plc (Nasdaq:GWPH), a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing novel therapeutics from its proprietary cannabinoid product platform, will announce on December 4th, 2017 its fourth quarter and year-end financial results for the period ending 30 September, 2017.

Commenting on GW Pharmaceuticals, David Cohen, Ph.D said, “GW Pharmaceuticals (Salisbury, UK) is in a class by itself in terms of the size and scope of its patent portfolio. It now has a US portfolio of nearly 100 US references (applications and patents), which is nearly twice as large the portfolio of Abbvie (Redwood City, CA), the big pharma patent leader, and approximately four times the size of its nearest small company competitor. GW has focused its attention on medicinal cannabinoid formulations and on treatment of a wide range of clinical applications, including treatment of nausea, pain, inflammation, and epilepsy.

GW Pharmaceuticals has likely secured this patent position the old -fashioned way: by getting in early, understanding the science well, using foresight to identify open space in the market and in the patent landscape, developing a plan, sticking with it, and filing patents aggressively. Their effort, as reflected in patent filings, has been balanced between (1) a highly focused effort to develop medically appropriate formulations and methods of preparation, and (2) a broad view of medical conditions that may be responsive to cannabinoid treatment. As a model for smaller companies, a balance between a tight focus and a broader reach such as that may be instructive.”




David Cohen, Ph.D., is a patent consultant based in Oakland, California. He has a background in biological sciences and experience in the pharmaceutical industry. At a career crossroads, he crossed over into patent law, and as a patent agent, now consults with biotechnology and medical device companies. He’s recently developed an interest in the cannabis patent landscape and has become affiliated with the Mazakali Capital Advisory Group of San Francisco.
