Book Description
This book reflects on the development of Nigeria’s intellectual property law and outlines the urgent need for reform. Bringing together expert contributors from around the world, the book identifies and discusses the inadequacies and lacunas in current intellectual property law, and how it is practiced and applied in Nigeria. The book argues that the revision and reform of Nigeria’s intellectual property law will be vital for the country’s development and national interests, whilst also recognising that Nigeria’s legal provisions must sit within a broader global context. Divided into three parts, the book discusses patents, trademarks, and copyright in the context of broad overarching themes affecting all aspects of intellectual property law. Honouring Professor Adebambo Adewopo SAN, the pioneering thinker in Nigerian intellectual property law, this book will be an important resource for researchers working on African Law.

Book Description
This book addresses core issues of personal property law in Nigeria from a comparative perspective. It offers a detailed account of the laws governing personal property and the different lightweight reforms undertaken mainly through case law before the enactment of the Secured Transactions in Movable Assets Act in 2017. The book draws insights from the United States UCC article 9, being unarguably the first law that introduced the concept of modern secured transactions law, and was influential to many common and civilian law systems in reforming their personal property laws. Given that personal property law is fairly new in Nigeria, and also in Africa in general, the main aim of the book is to provide judges and academic researchers with a rich collection of tested solutions from jurisdictions that have experimented with modern secured transactions law for several decades. The primary and secondary works that were referenced in the book have tracked the different epochal shifts in legal thinking and their significances. This may assist scholars and judges in Nigeria to come up with bespoke interpretations of the Act and solutions to underlying problems on credit and security, that will satisfy the local conditions as opposed to copying the unaltered solutions from the United States and other advanced systems.

Book Description
The law of energy and natural resources has always had a strong focus on property as one of its components, but there are relatively few comparative, book-length, treatments of both property law and energy and natural resources law. The aim of this edited collection is to explore the multiple dimensions of the contemporary relationship between property and energy and natural resources law. Its genesis was the growing resurgence of global interest in questions of property in energy and resources and how it manifests itself across legal regimes around the world. With an international and comparative character, the collection seeks to capture differences in the meaning of property, and the different views about the role it should play in a diverse range of contexts: civil law and common law; the law of indigenous communities; public law and private law; and national and international law. Key issues discussed include private rights and common property situations, privatization and regulation, competition for land use and resources, the role of property rights in environmental protection, and the balance between national sovereignty and the security of foreign investment. The collection thus has relevance for a wide readership interested in the legal dimensions of property as an increasingly important aspect of the law for energy and resources across diverse countries, and at the international level. The contributors are established experts in the energy and natural resources law field, and the collection builds upon a body of previous collaborative work in this area.

Book Description
About the BookThis book discusses the theories, practice and emerging trends of intellectual property (IP) law in Nigeria. Specifically, it examines the protection of copyright, patent, designs and trademark - including their limitations and exceptions - under the extant IP regime in Nigeria. It also examines important IP related and cut-crossing topics, such as the protection of traditional knowledge, traditional cultural expression, genetic resources and geographical indications; the protection of plant varieties and animal breeders rights, image rights, personality rights; and issues around character merchandizing. Other topics discussed includes trade secret, unfair competition, the interface between IP and gender, and the national, regional and international framework for the protection and promotion of IP. Significantly, the book examines the impact of digitization on IP with particular focus on the implications of the development on artificial intelligence technology on the IP system. While Nigeria remains its primary jurisdictional focus, the book draws from the jurisprudence, literature and contemporary practical examples to buttress its analysis. The importance of the book rests not only on its global outlook, Nigerian focus, and interesting topics it covers, but also on its simplicity and clarity of language and the style of presentation adopted. Overall, the book is designed to be relevant to judges, legal practitioners, law and policy makers, academics, researchers, students, entrepreneurs within the Nigerian IP ecosystem, and members of the public with interest in IP law.
