How much does a lawyer charge for trademark registration in Nigeria?

The total fee for a lawyer to assist you with trademark registration in Nigeria could amount to 561,000 Naira, covering all expenses.

My name is Abdulateef Muhammed, I am the lead lawyer with Abdul Muhammed Law Practice, and in dealing with intellectual property law client prospects, clients often seek clarity on the expenses involved in trademark registration.

The cost of trademark registration in Nigeria can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the mark, the class of goods or services it pertains to, and the professional fees charged by the legal representative handling the process. Here’s a breakdown of the typical expenses involved:
Legal Fees: Engaging the services of a qualified lawyer is essential for a smooth and effective trademark registration process. Lawyers experienced in intellectual property law can offer invaluable assistance in conducting a thorough trademark search, preparing the necessary documentation, and representing you before the Nigerian Trademarks Registry. The legal fees for these services can vary based on the complexity of the case and the reputation of the law firm.

Official Fees: These are official fees payable to the Nigerian Trademarks Registry for filing and processing your trademark application. These fees may differ depending on factors such as the number of classes your trademark application falls under and whether you’re claiming priority from a previously filed application. These are already built into and are part legal fees and costs charged by us.
Search Fees: Before filing a trademark application, it’s advisable to conduct a comprehensive trademark search to ensure that your proposed mark doesn’t infringe upon existing trademarks. While some law firms do not include search fees as part of their overall package, our own fee is an all in all fees and you are not to pay for search separately.
Additional Expenses: We emphasize again that we charge an all in all fees and depending on your specific requirements, if your trademark includes non-English elements, certification fees for documents, and charges for responding to any objections raised by the Trademarks Registry during the examination process are all covered.

PS: As a client you want to not to base your decision solely on cost but to also prioritize the expertise and track record of the legal professional or firm you choose to represent you.
