Commercial Intellectual Property

Your brand, your catalogue, your inventions - these are often a company's most valuable assets, yet the most left unprotected. We help clients build and defend a complete intellectual property position across trademarks, patents, copyright, industrial design, and trade names, starting with the right protection strategy and pursuing registration before the relevant Registry, including AOPI, ARIPO and WIPO filings for clients whose portfolios extend beyond Nigeria.

We negotiate and draft licensing agreements that let clients monetise what they own, run Intellectual Property (IP) audits to identify and properly value a client's full IP portfolio, and structure chain-of-title documentation for derivative works, including musical interpolations and sampling clearances; so ownership is never in question. Whatever the asset, our objective is the same: our clients own what they've created and can exploit it commercially without friction.
