    Arbitrability of Intellectual Property Disputes: A Cue from Global Legal Approaches
    (Kwara State University Press and Publishing, Ilorin, 2024) Adam K.I; Daibu A.A; Ojibara H.B
    The paper is an attempt to undertake a mapping of the literature and legal provisions concerning the approaches adopted towards settlement of intellectual property disputes by means of arbitration. The main point of departure is that intellectual property as an embodiment of legal devices for incentivising creativity and innovations is endowed with vast opportunities to generate businesses and investments, the same as it is greatly amenable to threats of disputes arising from such PI transactions as licensing and transfer agreements, cases of infringements, challenge of ownership and even validity of the IPR itself. Considering the growing interests in the use of arbitration for settlement of disputes, and the possibility of IP disputes as a candidate for such purpose, there is apparent prospect for a friendly interface. However; the reality of their individual characteristics raises a question about the imminent tension that would manifest in the relationship between arbitration. which is a means for settlement and intellectual property, which is essentially created by public authority to promote creativity and public welfare. Anecdotal evidence has revealed that legislation presents good opportunities which can be harnessed to resolve het challenges.

    Quantum of Quality Control in Trade Mark Licensing Under the Nigerian Law
    (Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies Journal of Intellectual Property [NJIP], 2020) Adam K.I; Ojibara H.B; Omotosho A.I
    Trademark is comprised of a message about the quality of the goods to which it is connected. Accordingly, the statutory sanction for trademark licensing is circumscribed with the duty on the part of the owner to control quality of the goods of the licensee sold under his mark. The aim of this article is generally to present the weaknesses and challenges of the Nigerian provisions on quality control relating to trademark licensing, and its specific objectives include to ascertain the quantum of quality control required for valid trademark licensing. Specific issues raised in the article include the actual purport of the provisions of the Nigerian Trade Mark Act relating to quality control, whether it is certain and predictable. In particular, the terms 'relationship' and 'control' by their ordinary meanings present possible interpretive challenges for the courts, registry and practitioners alike. Among the questions to which the article will seek answers is that relating to the nature and types of relationship and control intended by the Act. Based on the assumption that product quality is the focus of the control under the provision, further inquiries about the extent and dimensions of quality and quality control are made through the cases. Relevant provisions in other countries will be examined to identify useful lessons for Nigeria.
