Frequently Asked Questions

How do I register a trademark in Nigeria?

Trademark registration is handled by the Trademarks Registry under the Federal Ministry of Commerce. The process involves an application, examination and publication for opposition. We manage the full registration process and advise on classes of goods and services.

What protection does copyright give me in Nigeria?

Copyright in Nigeria is governed by the Copyright Act and arises automatically upon creation of an original work. The Nigerian Copyright Commission maintains a register. We advise on registration, enforcement and licensing of copyright works.
