The Company's now 13 issued patents protect what management believes to be the most efficient methods for producing distilled THC and CBD oils at scale.

VANCOUVER, Feb. 19, 2020 /CNW/ - Nextleaf Solutions Ltd. ("Nextleaf", "OILS", or the "Company") (CSE: OILS) (OTCQB: OILFF) (FSE: L0MA), Canada's most innovative cannabis extractor, announced today that the Canadian Intellectual Property Office has granted the Company its 13^th issued patent.  This patent pertains to a proprietary closed loop chilled solvent feed apparatus for cannabinoid extraction, and mirrors a patent previously granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on November 19, 2019.

"When Nextleaf obtained the first patent for the industrial-scale extraction and purification of cannabinoids," said Taran Grey, Director of Intellectual Property, "it broadcast our teams' demonstrable talent for innovation. To provide greater certainty of that talent, we have now repeated the accomplishment a dozen more times in four jurisdictions, with further patents expected to be granted shortly."

In an environment where Life Science patent applications have a pending to issuance success rate of less than 50%, Nextleaf's 100% success rate is unparalleled.

OILS is focused on commercializing its patent portfolio by licensing IP to partners operating in other legal markets, and supplying THC and CBD oils to qualified partners through Nextleaf Labs Ltd., a Health Canada licensed Standard Processor. The Company commenced revenue in December 2019.
