About the Author
The Highest Courts is written and edited by Paul Coble. Paul is an intellectual property attorney and cannabis software executive with a deep background in science and technology. He studied molecular biology and chemistry in his undergraduate before turning to the study of law.
Paul attended Arizona Statue University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law and graduated cum laude with a concentration in Law, Science, and Technology–the study of how science and law interact and affect each other’s trajectories. As a practicing attorney, Paul has helped clients navigate and mitigate risk relating to intellectual property and heavily regulated markets such as alcohol, personal data, pharmaceuticals, and, of course, cannabis. He is a registered patent attorney and has litigated complex intellectual property cases across the country.
After a decade practicing law, Paul decided to enter the cannabis industry and launched a startup, Thalo Technologies, to develop software to help cannabis and hemp manufacturers better capture and interpret their lab data to make more profitable decisions. He is an active member of the National Cannabis Industry Association, currently serving as Vice-Chair of the Cannabis Manufacturing Committee and sitting by designation on the Policy Council. He also develops and edits the cannabis curriculum for Excelsior College’s Master’s of Criminal Justice program and volunteers as General Counsel of the Social Justice & Engineering Initiative.
