Onetechnews:
A lot of people often confuse trademarks and the CAC (Corporate Affairs Commission) as the same thing when it comes to protecting their business. But trust me, they are never the same thing. These two are separate entities, and they serve different purposes when it comes to protecting your business. For clarity sake let me break it down for you:

When we talk about CAC, it is about getting your business officially registered. CAC ensures that your business name is protected in the sense that no one else can legally operate under that name within the same industry or sector. So, the CAC is essentially what gives your business its official existence. It allows you to operate formally in the country, pay taxes, and even open a business bank account.

Have you ever gone to the bank to open a business account, and they are demanding for your CAC registration number? That is a proof your business is legitimate and recognized by the government.

But here’s where things get interesting…

When we talk about a trademark, it’s a whole different ball game. A trademark provides even more protection than the CAC. Your trademark isn’t just about your business name, it can protect your logo, your slogan, and anything else that makes your business stand out and unique. The beauty of a trademark is that it gives you protection nationwide. No one can legally use your trademarked logo or slogan across the country, which gives you an extra layer of security for your brand.

Now, here’s something a lot of people don’t realize: with just a CAC registration, someone could still legally use your business name or something similar in another part of the country, and you’d have no legal recourse unless you’ve trademarked that name. The trademark is what actually prevents this from happening, so that no one can profit off your brand identity without your permission. If your business name, logo, or slogan is really valuable to you, a trademark ensures that no one can hijack it.

THE ABOVE BOLDED IS NOT CORRECT SIR. It is a dangerous, yet common, strategy to try and trademark a name only registered with the CAC. If the other person has been using the name commercially before you, they may be able to invalidate your trademark. Before proceeding, it is highly recommended to conduct a comprehensive trademark search to determine the true commercial owner of the name.

Legal Implications and RisksPrior User Conflict: Even if you secure the trademark, the CAC owner can still legally operate. If they can prove they were using the name first, they can initiate a "passing off" action against you.

Trademark Cancellation: If the CAC owner is using the name for products/services and has goodwill, they can challenge your trademark registration in court, arguing that you registered it in bad faith.

Think about it: in the world of business, your brand is everything. It’s how customers recognize you. So, why leave it vulnerable to copycats or competitors? Especially when it’s so easy to trademark your business assets and get that extra layer of protection.

Here’s the thing: even if you’ve already registered your business with the CAC, if you haven’t trademarked your business name, logo, or slogan, you’re leaving yourself exposed. Someone else could come along, take your name, and start using it in a way that confuses your customers or even damages your reputation. It’s a risk that no business owner should take, especially when the process to secure a trademark is relatively simple.

One more thing to consider, trademarks have a longer lifespan than CAC registration. While your CAC registration lasts as long as your business is active, a trademark can last for as long as you continue to renew it. So, your trademarked logo, name, or slogan is protected for the long haul, and as your business grows, that protection becomes even more valuable.
Why You Shouldn’t Skip the Trademark Process:

It’s a Nationwide Shield: No one, from Lagos to Sokoto, can legally use your trademarked name or logo without your consent.

It’s a Long-Term Investment: Once registered, a trademark lasts for years with minimal upkeep. It's like putting your brand on lockdown.

It Gives You the Competitive Edge: With a trademark, you own your brand identity completely, giving you a better chance at building customer loyalty and standing out in the market.

It Helps You Stand Out: Trademarking makes it harder for others to copy your branding, ensuring that when customers think of your product or service, they only think of YOU.

To sum it up: CAC is great for setting up your business legally, but trademarking is what keeps your brand secure and ensures that no one else can profit off your hard work. So, don’t leave your business name, logo, and slogan vulnerable, take the steps to get that trademark and enjoy the peace of mind knowing your brand is fully protected.

If you haven’t yet trademarked your business, now might just be the perfect time to do it.

oh boy its not over

Bosman17:
lol… many Nigerians are just too simple minded… there is nothing to celebrate here, you can’t see through this APC gimmick? Lose a battle to win war? This is to douse tension. There are too many legal huddles for ADC. The best thing is to push for an extension of party register submission from May 30 to Sept 30… Use the window to form a party and migrate en masse.
The SC as asked ADC to go back to the high court, there is the case of state chairmen there..

If you see the way a lawyer and PO supporter has been laughing so hard here, saying i should watch they will start calling the same court names soon cos they will lose big in main court case . just watch

Haydens:
P. S. G VS ARSENAL in the UCL final.

AlabiKILLER2023:
Bayern no get defense


Very porous defense

seunmsg:
This PSG is an incredible team. The way they attack is unbelievable. I don’t think any defense can stop them at the moment.

Pootle:
keep dreaming, you go soon wake up to see bayern as champions

Treasure17:
He's coming to arsenal next season. It's a done deal.

Leonardo4:
Bayern will so useless arsenal in the final ehhh. That's I they can scale thru atletico

Doyou2019:
Una just like wahala. Focus on the game, mate

geoworldedu:
This season isn't going to be settled with goal difference. City will win the league with points and not with goal difference. Newcastle will first do a damage to Arsenal. Then Westham avoiding relegation will put more bitter icing on the cake of mystery for Arsenal. Then Crystal Palace will do the finishing touch. Watch out for those three games.

Dey play. You think Pep was screaming and mad for nothing? He knew that they've fumbled by not scoring more than 1 goal. Everton, Bournemouth, Brentford and Aston villa are all fighting for European competitions, this are hardest fixtures for City. You think Bournemouth Everton and even Brentford are walkover? Don't worry, i will remind you here. Watch how Arsenal will dismantle Newcastle like a wounded lion with more goals. Just watch. But for now, everyone should continue creating their own happiness

This case of yours is a non issue.

Stockbrokers make mistakes with customers holding positions from time to time and from time immemorial.

One of my stock brokers ( very prominent, name withheld) sold my Sterling bank shares for me close to two years ago and till tomorrow, it is still appearing in my statement. Should I be deluding and deceiving myself that I still have the shares? No is the answer.

Where were you expecting the extra 20,000 units from when a bonus of 1 for 1 was never declared?

Does it even mean if they sold 40,000 units for you, you would not have alerted them and ask questions?

They have every right to question your intergrity if you attempt to make an issue of this either by mailing them or visiting their office.

A stock broker sold shares for me and paid me double the value. I mailed them instantly and transfer the excess to them.

As long as your 20,000 units were sold at the prevailing rate for the day, oga , commmot face.

Mistakes do happen.

You wan run them street abi na your eyes

@Indigbo
From the image you posted here I am reproducing below from this previous quote of yours, you seem to have 40,000 unit and not 20,000.
Probably you bought more than you can remember or your broker bought more than you instructed.

It is the 40k unit that is worth over ₦700k not 20k unit.

You probably only instructed your broker to sell only 20k units out of it.




Also, it's strange that you don't have a cost price basis. was your shares previously transferred from another broker? or did Fidelity Bank issue an un-aware bonus you didn't know about
(i don't know🤷).

Thought you said you had 20k units? Abi, you wan chop what belong to Caesar

Indigbo:
No sale since. FidelityBK. I though some of you said selling is within seconds or minutes? But it's going to 48 hours now and still no sale ?

yMcy56:
Fidelity is always available.
The "Market Price" you mentioned earlier is the fastest if trying to exit at whatever price..
It picks the prevailing price in market and fill your Order immediately.

Hope there's no problem with the platform itself....
Is your broker the one authorized to sell for you or you placed the sell Order yourself?
