LEGAL GUIDE FOR PROTECTING FASHION DESIGNERS In the ever-evolving landscape of fashion, where innovation meets legal intricacies, securing the intellectual property of designers is a paramount concern. How can protection be achieved? - TRADEMARK a. Engage a qualified IP lawyer. b. Ensure that their brand name, mark, and logo are distinctive and not descriptive or deceptive. c. Register the marks with the Trademarks Registry. d. Monitor and renew the trademarks registration. - INDUSTRIAL DESIGN: a. Engage a qualified IP lawyer. b. Ensure that the design is novel and does not fall into the public domain--including posting on social media. Also, the design must not be contrary to public morality. c. Register the design with the Patents and Designs Registry. This entails submitting design renderings and paying the necessary fees. Design registration is valid for 5 years, with the option of renewing for two additional 5-year periods. Designers must be aware of renewal requirements to ensure long-term protection. - COPYRIGHT: a. Ensure that all sketches are original ideas. b. Keep detailed records of the design process; from idea sketches to the finished product---this strengthens a designer's position in the event of a legal dispute. c. Register sketches with the Nigeria Copyright Commission - VIGILANCE AND ENFORCEMENT: While legal frameworks lay the groundwork for protection, designers must actively assess the market for potential infringements. The importance of timely enforcement of rights through legal action cannot be overstated. Engaging legal experts who are knowledgeable about intellectual property law in Nigeria will help navigate complications and ensure efficient enforcement.

Art is considered to inspire other art. This indicates that very few artistic expressions are wholly original or novel; instead, the majority of them are obviously influenced by another. Interpolation and sampling are both techniques used by music creators to enhance their original works and have been used since the 1980s. These two techniques pose legal issues, as the originator/copyright owner of the inspiring work is at risk of being robbed of his legal benefits. COPYRIGHT Copyright is a mainstay when it comes to music creation. All songs are protected by copyright, which means that third-party usage is only permissible at the pleasure of the owner. A song, as we know today, is a combination of a composition (made up of lyrics/melody and a beat/instrumentals) and a sound recording. This means that two copyrights exist in a song. INTERPOLATION Interpolation is the use of a composition, in part, in another composition. It involves the reproduction of lyrics or melody from a song and using it in another song. An example of when this has occurred is Nigerian artiste, Shallipopi, using the melody of a famous nursery rhyme in his song, Oscroh (Pepperline). SAMPLING As opposed to interpolation, which involves the use of only the composition part of a song, sampling involves the use of the sound recording. Sampling occurs where an artiste lifts a part of an audio recording and places it in their new recording to suit their desired result. An example of when this has occurred is Nigerian artiste, Burna Boy, using the recording of Jeremih’s Birthday Sex in his song, City Boys. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Both interpolation and sampling involve the use of another’s copyright in a new work and, therefore, will always raise legal issues. Section 9 of the Copyright Act, 2022 denies persons other than the owner of copyright from making use (reproduction) of literary and/or musical works (composition). On the sound recording side, section 12 of the Copyright Act, 2022, also has the same effect as section 9 with regards to use. It is then imperative that the permission (licence) of the owner(s) of copyright in the composition and recording are sought. #intellectualproperty #sampling by @theipsociety
