Don't make these common legal mistakes

3 Reasons Nigerian Startups Lose Their Brand Names

The CAC Trap.

In Nigeria, a Business Name is just a permit to operate. A Trademark is your ownership of the brand. Don't confuse the two.

Registry Rejection.

The Registry is strict. If you file a "descriptive" name like Lagos Logistics, you’ll wait 2 years just to be told "No."

No Global Cover.

Your brand is your biggest asset. If you plan to scale to the US or UK, you need an IP strategy that starts here but works everywhere.
