Editor’s Note

This edition marks the beginning of Volume 2 of our quarterly newsletter. This edition is unique as the articles featured herein are not only educative but they are evolutional. The featured articles seek to expand the frontiers of our Intellectual Property laws and Corporate-Commercial law and practice as we know it. More significantly is the fact that we have welcomed articles from guest-writers from other law firms.

For Genevieve, the Tax policies and government income perhaps, can further be improved if the informal sector of the economy is considered. The ingenuity of such thought in the present economy of Nigeria cannot be over-emphasized.

Amaka skillfully links economy with knowledge and ties both around intellectual property. She paints a unique picture of intellectual property and its prospects for a developing economy.

Ifeanyi presents us with the possibility of an un-explored area of intellectual property – a difficult dialogue, a thought, nay, a reality which intellectual property lawyers, lawmakers, businessmen and directors all over the world may be interested in.

Our guest writers too were not left in the action. Ani Ubon critically examines the much controversies and deception surrounding the appellation ‘Alternate Director’ and presented us with a heavy recommendation – that the appellation be expressly expunged from the Company & Allied Matters Act.

For those who may have read our earlier work on Image Rights (Vol 1, Issue 3), one cannot resist a further and deeper evaluation of Image Rights in the light of present decisions of courts and constant media-cum-image issues around the world. Thus, Alex in a deeper evaluation presents us, with the possibility of a relief at common law.

We have introduced a section that captures some other recently trending topics in the IP sphere in Nigeria. Look out for in-depth analysis on some of these topics in the next edition of our newsletter.
