I was about to publish a book sometime last year and during my trademark research, I was shocked to see all manner of words and phrases that have been trademarked.

Words such as:
Fuc.k off
"Shi.t Baby Fuc.k"
Fuc.k The System
Sold The Fuc.k Out
I Fuc.k On The First Date
Fuc.k You With Love etc

A company as big as Peak Milk ought to know better.

BigRocky:


The "sumting hooge" whatever is greed for sabinus wanting to get something off it.

But the gala's advert cartonize sabinus and use him to sell their product without his consent.he can comfortably sue for that.

You can't trademark posture....that's cartoon doesn't look like him

BennyDGreat:


Gala didn't use his picture

That photo doesn't resemble him at all

Spaxon:


That photo doesn't resemble him at all

So no case for that. The company will reach out to him and give him something sha

Lost case. There is different there something hooge and something Hooge are different entifely. Beside he has not be issued certificate that is just an acceptance letter. The cartoon does not looks like him.

MadamVanessa:



He's simply stupid. Instead of doubling his hustle, he want to cash out doing nothing. stupid and usêlèss idiota.

He and Peak milk planned it. I didn't hear about the advert but heard about the lawsuit.

MadamVanessa:



He's simply stupid. Instead of doubling his hustle, he want to cash out doing nothing. stupid and usêlèss idiota.

Common girl don't be an ignoramus can't you read to understand that this dude already trademarked the phrase something hooge! Damn

Daestro3:

Badgers14:


Sabinus better thread carefully..

He might be damaging his brand.

That gala advert, that doesn't look sabinus... people dress like Michael Jackson, Fela and Elvis all the time.. nothing there...

He should be very careful.. he could be considered toxic by brands.. and his true self could be exposed in litigation.. he should be very careful.


UAC and peak milk have been in this game for a very long time so they know the drill..

Oga sabinus might end up recording this as one of his silly decisions just like in his skits.

well said

When you people use Asari Dokubo and patience voice for your comedy did they sue u people

The gala cartoon may not go far because that's not Sabinus image, that could've been anything or anyone

Kingpele:
Hahaha comedian want to caahout ..u registered a word secretly lol ,well they should settle him sha ,don't underate this jokers ,there's terrible wickedness beneath thier carefree attitude..if someone will make a living by cracking jokes ,u will be sure he can do anything for money..peak milk company underated him as a joker but now they will be dealing with a greedy business man

nothing like greedy business man. those companies would have first approached him before using him to advertise their products.
Even in academic, it is crime to use someone idea without proper referencing.

SABINUS VS MAKERS OF GALA AND PEAK MILK – WHY HIS CASE MAY FAIL

1. A close look at the image used by UAC for the Gala advert shows a significant difference which supports the argument of dissimilarity in essential features.

2. A cursory look at the Acceptance Letter from the Trademark’s Office shows that Sabinus had applied for trademarks registration of "something hooge" under Class 36. It is however arguable whether Class 36 is the appropriate class to support the claims.

3. Beyond this, the Acceptance Letter shown is only a prima facie proof of the application for registration and not a conclusive proof so as to bestow the protection of all legal rights on Sabinus at this point.

4. The N100m and N1b claimed by Sabinus are horrendous. The court is not a Father Christmas who goes about bearing gifts and giving freely to all and sundry.

The makers of Gala & Peak Milk have some business decisions to make while contemplating on the strength of their defence. Engaging a Law Firm which plays in the entertainment industry, with expertise in IP & skilled in dispute resolution (including negotiation) is the way to go.

BennyDGreat:


The gala own has no stand. You can't trademark posture and that's not Sabinus picture

Exactly my point

Stupid case.... He will end up paying the company self....

1.8 million naira and nothing more. I don’t see how he won’t accept the offer. Everybody dey find money these days.

Looking @ Oga Sabinus' acceptance letter in circulation, is shows that the trade mark was registered in class 36 which is the class for financial services & real estate

He can only claim that his mark was infringed if it was in the same line of businesses listed in the class in which the trademark was registered, the only way to prevent this is from happening is by registering in all the trademark classes.



So oga sabinus can't claim it
& they won't give him any money

Daestro3:
which kain nonsense be this.

So, you think it's lazy work that made 'something hooge' to become a popular term?

How??
How can someone be this stewpid

BENCHOKCONSULT:


Exactly my point

You are on point sir. Dem go just load am with gala for like a month and give him some money to let the social media people calm down

I will also like to know if its possible for burna boy to trade mark "odogwu" since its a native word

Investorozay:

So sabinus was balling before comedy
Or u just want to talk rubbish?

Have u seen his hungry looking pix before comedy?

No mind the guy

Most of you ain't intelligent, so you think a coy like peak milk will just bend over and pay the fool 1bn just like that....lolzzzzz
They will counter sue him for twice the amount and add anoda "e" to the "hooge" to make it "hoogee" and make it add for him to get endorsed by any other coy ever again. Coy legal teams gets hardons cos of greedy fools like him.

No Be Small Thing ooooo

alizma:

Olodo, did you see the attachment? He has it registered. I am sure it was some ignorant persons like you that mislead the companies into this mess. Them go pay am for that error.

Go collect the money and pay him na, NL charge and bail lawyer.

BennyDGreat:


You can't trademark posture....that's cartoon doesn't look like him

Alright bro

MichaelSokoto:

1.1B?
Clown!



* Modified *

Baba don cash out!
neva knew he registered it.

More reason why you should always READ before rushing to comment. Don't just read the sub-heading and just jump into conclusions You can book a space, go back and read the article, your space go still dey for you anytime wey you wan comment

I believe he has every right to sue both of them cause it's not right

U lie that's his words

You see how wicked company's in nigeria are to our indigenous people,they love what sabinus is doing instead of them to support him by endorsement no they rather endorse olosho toke makinwa then sabinus intellectual property is what the need for free,

out of court settlement loading...but he should reject it and do as that south african guy who invented "pls call me" did he will get more money.

chatinent:


Lol.

Sabinus is smart.

He registered it low-key. They thought it was just a slang.

Always register what's yours.


Well, it's common for yahoo boys to use comedy as a shield for their income. Na today? Who no know Sabinus for PH before the comedy coverup?

Enemy of progress...now wey he dey popular, he was a former yahoo boy abi? perverted jealous soul. nobody know am for PH, this is the kind of household wickedness one should pray against..they start with something good but smear your name with evil to expose their deep pain..typical wicked black heart filled with angst and jealousy. so disgusting.
