As part of the #IPSERIES 100-day Christmas countdown, Day 3 discusses the process behind how festivals are listed as cultural heritage. I also shared insights on leveraging #culturalheritage through #IP and the challenges we face in the realm of intellectual property at our festivals. This episode is inspired by a recent post featuring the Minister of Art, Culture, and the Creative Economy, Hon. Hannatu Musa Musawa, proudly presenting the UNESCO World Heritage Certificate for the Sango Festival to His Imperial Majesty, Oba Abimbola Akeem Owoade, the Alaafin of Oyo. This recognition was celebrated during the grand finale of the Sango Festival, and Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State also received the certificate. linkedin.com/posts/rita-chin…

As a Nigerian, can I be accused of cultural misappropriation if I use elements from another region's culture for commercial purposes? I’m curious about the implications of cultural borrowing in a diverse society like Nigeria, where various cultures coexist and influence each other. What are the boundaries between appreciation and exploitation in this context? 🤔 #ipseries

Over the last few days, a recent conversation in the Afrobeats scene has once again highlighted the complexities of intellectual property in the music industry. Today's @IPSERIES delves into the alleged dispute between Omah Lay and Rema over a shared album idea where I highlighted copyright basics and what the position of the law is when it comes to collaborative works. Here’s the link to read and share your thoughts. linkedin.com/posts/rita-chin…

I came across a new trademark dispute that is unfolding in Nigeria from @legallysavvy_ng page on LinkedIn, involving the Fastest Cakes brand, which has held a registered trademark since 2021. The company is challenging the business name registration of "Fastest Cake," a business based in Ibadan that was launched in April 2025. The matter has been brought before the Corporate Affairs Commission, which has issued a delisting notice to the alleged infringing business. Interestingly, a few weeks ago, we had the case of KPMG Nigeria against KPMG Professional Services, where the Court of Appeal directed CAC to remove its business name from the Commission's register, thereby highlighting the need for Nigeria to adopt a dual registration system between CAC and Trademark Registry to avoid registration of identical names which maybe viewed as an act of bad faith concerning trademark rights in Nigeria.
