Our Litigation and Arbitration Focus Areas
IP Disputes and Litigation
In the rapidly evolving business landscape, protecting and enforcing intellectual property are critical to safeguarding innovation and maintaining competitive advantage, more so where we operate a globalized economy with ever shrinking business borders. Thus, we specialize in representing international corporations in IP disputes in Nigeria, including:
- Trademark Infringement: Protecting brand identity by taking decisive legal action against unauthorized use of trademarks.
- Patent and Design Disputes: Enforcing patent and industrial design rights to safeguard your technological and creative investments in Nigeria.
- Copyright Protection: Combating piracy and unauthorized use of copyrighted materials.
- Trade Secret Misappropriation: Ensuring your confidential business information remains protected.
We combine local expertise garnered from the work we have done for numerous corporations with a global perspective, leveraging our deep understanding of Nigerian IP laws and procedures to secure favorable outcomes for our clients.
