VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cannabix Technologies Inc. (CSE: BLO) (OTC PINK: BLOZF) (the "Company or Cannabix") developer of the Cannabix Marijuana Breathalyzer devices for law enforcement and the workplace, reports that it has received a notice of allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its 2015 licensed patent application, No. 14/689434 entitled, "Cannabis Drug Detection Device". The Company and its patent attorneys have been vigorously pursuing this original patent application since its filing in the spring of 2015. It should be noted that a notice of allowance from the USPTO does not constitute a grant of patent. The Company will report on future material developments regarding its "Cannabis Drug Detection Device" patent application in due course.

Cannabix Technologies is on the forefront in research and development to create point-of-care breath testing technologies for the detection of ?9-tetrahydrocannabinol ("THC") - the psychoactive component of marijuana that causes impairment.

About Cannabix Technologies Inc.

Cannabix Technologies Inc. is a leader in marijuana breathalyzer development for law enforcement and the workplace. Cannabix has established breath testing technologies in the pursuit of bringing accurate, durable, portable tools to market to enable detection of marijuana-impaired driving offences on roads at a time when marijuana is becoming legal in many global jurisdictions. Cannabix is working to develop drug-testing devices that will detect THC- the psychoactive component of marijuana that causes intoxication- using breath samples. In particular, Cannabix is focused on developing breath testing devices for detection of recent use of THC, in contrast to urine testing for THC metabolite that requires an invasive collection and reflects usage, days or even weeks earlier. The devices will also be useful for other practical applications such as testing employees in the workplace where impairment by THC can be hazardous.

We seek Safe Harbor.
