Trademark registration is handled by the Trademarks, Patents and Designs Registry. The process involves a search, application, examination, and publication. We manage the entire process on your behalf.

Nigerian trademark registration typically takes 12-24 months from application to registration. We file promptly and monitor the application throughout the process.
