O. Kayode & Co. advises clients across a range of industries in Nigeria and across sub-Saharan Africa. Our sector knowledge allows us to advise on the IP and legal challenges that are specific to each market, rather than applying a generic approach.
Pharmaceuticals & FMCG
Anti-counterfeiting and NAFDAC compliance for pharmaceutical and FMCG clients. Direct working relationships with NAFDAC, SON, and the NCS IPR unit for coordinated multi-agency enforcement.
Technology & Fintech
IP strategy for Nigerian startups and technology companies. Intersection of IP with the Nigeria Startup Act 2022, investor due diligence, and the NIPPS 2026 financing framework.
Entertainment & Nollywood
Copyright ownership, licensing for streaming platforms, and rights documentation under the Copyright Act 2022. Experience advising across Nollywood productions, music, and digital media.
Fashion & Creative Industries
Trademark, copyright, and industrial design strategies for Nigerian fashion brands operating domestically and across international markets in London, New York, and Dubai.
International Business
Local counsel for international firms with Nigerian and sub-Saharan African portfolios. Nigeria requires separate national filings — protection through ARIPO or OAPI does not extend here.
Startups & Innovation
IP strategy for innovation-driven businesses. Patent and trademark portfolio building, IP due diligence for investment rounds, and IP finance opportunities under NIPPS 2026.
