Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property

No law firm today can credibly claim to offer “full service” corporate/commercial advice without robust intellectual property law capabilities.

For many of our clients, their intellectual property is their most precious asset. Our aim is to make sure that this asset is safeguarded and properly managed through our complete range of IP services, customised to meet the special and specific structures, operations, and objectives of each client.

Our leading services:

  • Registration of intellectual property
  • Assignment, licensing, and exploitation of copyright, trademarks, and patents
  • Maintenance and protection of intellectual property rights
  • Technology acquisition and transfer
  • Filing, prosecution, or defence of our clients’ applications in opposition proceedings before the Registrar of Trademarks

Examples of the value we’ve delivered for clients

  • Represented and obtained judgment in favour of our client in a major opposition proceeding instituted by a large multinational company
  • Represented a world-famous tire manufacturing company in the prosecution of an action to cancel an entry in the Trademarks Register, which infringed our client’s registered trademark
  • Prosecuted a copyright infringement action against a major telecommunications company in Nigeria on behalf of our client
  • Recently filed and registered over 37 trademarks at the Trademarks Registry on behalf of several clients in various business sectors
