Hi everyone,
I believe Professor Festinger had posted the original article about magic mushrooms during February 3 news of the week (https://www.bereskinparr.com/doc/is-there-magic-in-those-mushrooms-protecting-psilocybin-and-other-actives-from-magic-mushrooms). I happened to come across that original article and saw this follow up-article that provides some insight into patent law in the area. This article goes into a review of strategies for protecting chemical innovations related to magic mushrooms and other psychedelics, speaking to the concepts of novelty and inventiveness, and how they both relate to patent protection for a new compound.
