Intellectual Property

Protecting Ideas. Powering Innovation. Creating Lasting Value.

At Ewelukwa Legal, we offer strategic, end-to-end legal services for the protection, commercialization, and enforcement of intellectual property (IP) rights across Nigeria and beyond. Our IP practice supports innovators, entrepreneurs, universities, creatives, diaspora brands, and multinational companies seeking to secure and maximize their intellectual capital.

We help clients register trademarks, patents, copyrights, industrial designs, and domain names, ensuring each asset is legally recognized and protected. Beyond registration, we provide IP enforcement through cease-and-desist actions, litigation, customs enforcement, and infringement risk assessments—helping you defend what you create.

To help clients turn ideas into income, we structure IP licensing agreements, joint ventures, franchising arrangements, and research commercialization strategies. We also support IP audits and legal due diligence for M&A, funding rounds, and cross-border transactions—ensuring clarity on ownership, valuation, and compliance.

For start-ups and regulated industries such as fintech, biotech, and health, we advise on sector-specific IP and data protection laws. Our innovation-focused approach also supports diaspora-led ventures looking to enter the Nigerian market with strong legal safeguards.

Our IP team also engages in policy work, offering technical support to NGOs, governments, and development partners in designing inclusive, development-focused IP frameworks.

Our Services Include:

• Trademark, copyright, patent, and design registration

• IP enforcement and litigation

• Licensing, franchising, and commercialization

• IP due diligence for investors and M&A

• Cross-border IP advisory for diaspora brands

• Sectoral compliance (e.g., health, fintech, digital platforms)
