Intellectual Property
Protect the Real estate of your mind
Protecting creativity, innovation, and commercial value across Nigeria and beyond.
At Matt Styles Solicitors, we understand that intellectual property is more than legal jargon — it’s the lifeblood of artists, entrepreneurs, innovators, and businesses.
Our IP services are informed by real-world experience. Our founder is not only a qualified solicitor in both Nigeria and the UK, but also an accomplished musician and digital creative — giving us a unique perspective on what creators and businesses truly need when it comes to IP protection.
Our IP Services include:
- Copyright registration and enforcement (music, content, software, designs)
- Trademark registration in Nigeria, the UK, and internationally
- Licensing, assignment, and royalty agreements
- Enforcing IP rights online (takedowns, infringement notices, and litigation)
- Brand protection and passing off claims
- Advising creatives, startups, and SMEs on how to commercialise and protect their IP
- Cross-border IP strategies for Nigerians and diaspora businesses
Whether you're a musician, designer, tech founder, or content creator, we help you secure your rights and monetise your work — while staying compliant with IP laws in Nigeria, the UK, and globally.
