What Nigerian Courts Consider as Evidence of Well-Known Marks: A Legal and Analytical Perspective
0₦2,500.00Mark Mordi SAN, Emmanuel Agidi & Asiya Ali in their article, What Nigerian Courts Consider as Evidence of Well-Known Marks: A Legal and Analytical Perspective, seek to examine the legal framework surrounding well-known marks in Nigeria, providing an analysis of both the gaps in domestic legislation and the role of international instruments in shaping judicial decisions. The Trade Marks Act of 1967 does not explicitly define well-known marks, leaving Nigerian Courts when faced with the question, to rely on common law principles and international guidelines such as the Paris Convention and the TRIPS Agreement. Mordi et al identify key factors for Courts in Nigeria to consider when determining whether a mark is well-known, including international sales, local recognition, and global marketing efforts. Mordi et al discuss the complexities involved in applying these criteria. Furthermore, the article recommends legal reform to specifically address well-known marks in Nigerian law, in order to provide clearer protection for trademark holders and align Nigeria with international standards. By proposing a more structured framework, Mordi et al recommend a more consistent and robust approach to the protection of well-known marks in Nigeria.

Bots in the Studio: Contemplating the Question of Authorship in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Generated Art in Nigeria
0₦2,500.00Abraham Edoka Otene in his article, Bots in the Studio: Contemplating the Question of Authorship in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Generated Art in Nigeria, explores the authorship of AI generated works under the Copyright regime of Nigeria drawing extensively from how other jurisdictions have dealt with or are dealing with issues it raises and concludes that the best approach the country should take when it finally has to deal with it is to recognize the end user of the AI tool as the author of the artistic work. Just a few years ago, the thought of using text prompts to create works of art that are as close as possible to reality would seem like a thing reserved for science-fiction movies. In today’s world, however, art generated using AI has not only become commonplace but is also creating sensation with it. While Nigeria has not dealt with the question of authorship of such works either at the legislative, executive, or judicial level, there is no doubt that it is only a matter of time before the question arises.

A Review of Intellectual Property Protection of the Fashion Industry in Nigeria
0₦2,500.00Adeyemi Oluwadamilare, Motunrayo Joseph-Hunvenu and Adeyemi Babajide, in their article, A Review of Intellectual Property Protection of the Fashion Industry in Nigeria, explore the legal regime for the protection of intellectual rights in the fashion industry in Nigeria. The fashion industry is a universal and highly developed, booming sector. However, Nigeria does not rigorously protect it. The global fashion industry depends heavily on wearable technology, beauty, style, and aesthetics. The industry is seeing substantial expansion as a result of the information age, digital technologies, and Internet. Intellectual property rights (IPRs), which are legal rights deriving from intellectual activity, can be used to safeguard many innovations. Despite the fact that intellectual property (IP) is still a huge asset in the fashion industry, counterfeiting and piracy are accepted and openly permitted. Using the doctrinal approach, this paper examines the protection of IPRs for the fashion industry in Nigeria The paper finds that Nigeria lacks a thorough legal system that is tailored specifically to the fashion industry. Since there is no special law safeguarding fashion labels, recourse must be made to the general protection provided by the country’s current intellectual property laws. The paper recommends that Nigeria has to start taking the required actions to safeguard the IPRs of those who participate in the fashion sector. It could accomplish this by ratifying and domesticating the international agreements that safeguard these rights and by passing or amending laws to make up for any shortcomings that may be present at the moment.
