With the growth of international trade, business organisations are increasingly faced with the challenges of establishing a clear differentiation of their product and services through innovation, design, and branding.
These differences are protected by patents, copyrights, design rights, and trademarks, collectively known as intellectual property rights.
Nigeria is a country of 100 million people, and by virtue of its position and influence as the largest black nation in the world, it is a strategic center of commerce, with immense potential for investment.
Against the backdrop of flourishing trade and commerce, the huge profits available have naturally attracted unscrupulous business persons whose unwholesome activities have led to pirating, counterfeiting, bootlegging, and other infringing activities.
These exploitative activities are being perpetrated to the detriment of genuine manufacturers and investors. The onus is therefore on the manufacturers of goods and services to be vigilant and ensure the continuous protection of their proprietary rights.
We have considerable experience in intellectual property transactions, including licensing and ‘know-how’. We specialize in litigation in this field and are used to taking urgent action to prevent infringement.
We are also specialists in the field of intellectual property, providing clients with effective representation in all areas of intellectual property, including patent, trademark, counterfeiting, trade secret, unfair competition, copyright litigation, as well as patent and trade prosecution, licensing, interference, oppositions, cancellations, and counseling.
One of our partners has particular expertise in Intellectual Property practice and has handled a wide range of matters involving international aspects of intellectual property protection.
