Copyright Registration
How much does a lawyer charge to register copyright in Nigeria?
Base Fee: The initial cost to register your work for copyright is 80,000 Naira. This covers works under 100 pages.
Additional Pages: For works exceeding 100 pages, there’s an additional charge of 6,500 Naira for every extra hundred pages.
My name is Abdulateef Muhammed and as a notary public and a legal practitioner, I often encounter questions about the costs associated with registering a copyright in Nigeria.
Understanding these costs is crucial for creators and artists seeking to protect their intellectual property. Let’s delve into this topic:
Legal Fees: The first component of the cost involves legal fees. These fees can vary depending on the service provider.
Government Charges: My fees are all-in-all legal fees, and as such all government charges associated with copyright registration in Nigeria are covered.
Optional Services: Depending on your preferences and requirements, there may be additional services that incur extra costs. These could include expedited processing, legal advice on copyright protection strategies, or assistance with copyright infringement cases.
Documentation: Proper documentation is essential for copyright registration. While this may not directly incur a fee from the lawyer, it’s crucial to ensure all necessary documents are prepared and submitted correctly to avoid delays or complications in the registration process.
Post-Registration Services: After the copyright is registered, there may be ongoing services or maintenance required, such as monitoring for infringement or renewing the copyright when necessary. While these may not be immediate costs, they are factors to consider for long-term copyright protection.
PS: You have the freedom to register your copyright directly through the CopyRIGHT Protection agency, either online or in-person. Alternatively, you may opt to engage a lawyer for this service. The choice is entirely yours.
However, I strongly advise seeking personalized legal guidance to ensure your intellectual property rights are adequately protected while staying within your budget constraints. Safeguarding your creative works is paramount, and personalized guidance can help navigate the process effectively.
