YOUR BUSINESS/COMPANY NAME IS NOT PROTECTED UNTIL IT IS TRADEMARKED

YOUR BUSINESS/COMPANY NAME IS NOT PROTECTED UNTIL IT IS TRADEMARKED

Nothing hurts a business owner more than waking up to see another person using the exact name, logo or slogan you built with sweat. Sadly, without a registered trademark, you have no power to stop them.

What is a Trademark?

A trademark is any name, logo, slogan, symbol, colour or unique mark that identifies your business and separates it from others. It is the legal identity of your brand.

Types of Trademarks:

Business names, product names, slogans, graphic symbols/designs, images/shapes representing your brand, unique colour combination/patterns connected to your business and distinct sounds that represent your brand.

Apex Chambers’ name, logo and motto are registered trademarks.

Benefits of Trademark Registration in Nigeria

– You have exclusive legal ownership of your brand identity.
– You can stop anyone who copies or imitates it.
– Banks, investors, etc trust you more.
– It stops brand theft and impersonation.

What You Stand to Lose if You Do Not Register Your Trademark

You stand to lose your brand, market recognition, customers/clients and right to your own business name.

Anyone can copy you and legally claim the brand because they registered it first. You may be forced to change your business name, reprint all branding materials and rebrand from scratch.

Trademark registration in Nigeria should be handled by an experienced Business Lawyer.

If you love your brand, protect it.
