A trademark is a unique name, logo, words or symbol that distinguishes a business from others. It sets your business apart. As a business owner in Nigeria, registering your trademark secures your business’ legal rights and protect your brand from unauthorized use.
Why You Should Register Your Trademark
1. Legal Ownership – Registration gives you exclusive rights to your brand name, symbol, logo or words.
2. Prevents Infringement – You can take legal action against unauthorized users and get paid for damages.
4. Increases Business Value – A registered trademark boosts the value/image of your business.
5. Supports Business Growth – It allows business expansion locally and globally.
Risks of Not Registering
× Loss of Brand Identity – Another company could trademark your identity first.
× Legal Vulnerability – Without registration, enforcing ownership rights is hard.
× Rebranding Costs – If a conflict arises, you may be forced to change your brand entirely.
Trademark registration is indispensable for every serious business in Nigeria. It safeguards your brand, strengthens legal protection and paves way for business success.
