At Glimsource, we understand that innovation is the heartbeat of every successful business, and protecting it is non-negotiable. We help brands, creators, and innovators safeguard what defines them, turning intellectual
assets into long-term commercial advantage.

Our Intellectual Property (IP) team offers end-to-end protection and enforcement across the IP spectrum —trademarks, patents, copyrights, industrial designs, trade secrets, and technology transfers. We combine deep industry knowledge with practical legal insight to help clients protect, commercialise, and monetise their IP both in Nigeria and globally.

We advise clients across diverse sectors, including Technology & Innovation, Entertainment & Media, FMCG, Pharmaceuticals, Fashion, and Manufacturing, ensuring their creative works and brand assets are fully protected under Nigerian and international law.

Our Services include

• Trademark Services: We manage the full lifecycle of trademark protection — from searches, registration, renewals, enforcement, and opposition proceedings to licensing, franchising, and brand portfolio management. Our firm ensures your brand remains distinctive and legally defensible in every market.
• Patent and Industrial Design Protection: We provide strategic advice on patent searches, filings, renewals, infringement actions, and portfolio management, as well as industrial design registration and commercialisation. Our approach safeguards both functionality and form, ensuring innovation translates into competitive market positioning.
• Copyright and Creative Works: From registration to royalty management, we handle copyright protection, licensing, and digital rights management across the entertainment, media, and tech industries. Our lawyers also advise on fair use, content ownership, and IP disputes in digital and traditional media.
• Technology Transfer and Licensing: We draft and register technology transfer agreements with the National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion (NOTAP) and structure franchise, distribution, and licensing arrangements that align with Nigerian regulatory frameworks while maximising client returns.
• Trade Secret and Confidential Information Protection: We design robust frameworks to protect confidential business information and proprietary technology, including NDAs, IP audits, and litigation for misappropriation. Our goal is to help clients maintain control over their intellectual capital in competitive industries.
