Nigeria
is a member of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and a
signatory to the
intellectual property rights agreement.
Despite
active participation in international conventions and the apparent interest of
the government in IPR issues, its efforts have been ineffectual in curtailing
the widespread production and sale of pirated tapes, videos, computer software,
and books in Nigeria. Recently, a local Microsoft agent with the aid of law
enforcement officers recovered several pirated Microsoft software during raids
on the premises of private computer companies dealing in computer accessories.
The patents and design decree of 1970 governs registration of patents. The
Nigerian standards organization is responsible for issuing patents, trademarks,
and copyrights. Once conferred, a patent gives the patentee the exclusive right
to make, import, sell, or use a product or to apply a patented process. The
trademarks act of 1965 governs the registration of trademarks. Registering a
trademark gives its holder the exclusive right to use the registered mark for a
specific product or class of products. IPR lawyers are currently pressing the
GON to review the present copyright law to make it more effective.
Nigeria’s
recent statutes include the copyright act of 1988 (amended in 1992); the
national film and video censors board act of 1993 (which reinforced the measures
of the copyright act); and the Nigerian film policy law of 1993 (which
encouraged the development of the Nigerian film industry). IPR problems in
Nigeria increased with the government’s 1981 nationalization of the film
industry (including distribution), although this policy has been officially
abandoned. Motion Picture Association (MPA) member companies were not paid the
contractual compensation that was promised by the Nigerian government. Moreover,
the companies were unable to repatriate their assets from Nigeria. Therefore,
there has been no trade in recent years between MPA member companies and
Nigeria. The estimated accumulated losses to MPA member companies exceed $25
million.
Nigerian
companies, including filmmakers, formed the Proteus Entertainment Agency to
protect
Attorneys
active in IPR issues have formed the industrial property law interest group (IPLIG)
to
educate
and lobby on industrial IPR issues. They have sponsored several copyright
conferences
throughout Nigeria and credit themselves for including an IPR course at the
Lagos law school. In the past, few companies have secured trademark or patent
protection in Nigeria because it was
generally considered ineffective. Nigeria is considered to be Africa’s
largest market for pirated
products. Losses from poor IPR protection, though difficult to estimate, are
substantial. Most of the sound recordings and videotapes sold in Nigeria are
pirated. Satellite signal piracy is also common.
The
manufacture and sale of counterfeit pharmaceuticals and auto parts are emerging
problems.
