Mandzukic is hurt. Bad moment here!

Croatia is in big trouble.

An injured GK and an injured GK with just one substitution.

Extra Time Begins!

FULL TIME!

Russia 1 - Croatia 1


Extra Time Loading!

jjii:
Chai!! England will have a smooth ride to the final. I don't see any of these two teams beating England.

Which England, please?

Croatia is in trouble!

They have exhausted all of their substitutions and the GK is injured!

All they need is to protect him till the end of the match to make an additional substitution.

Additional minute is five!

d guy wey fit give FIFA president red card, no one complain.

Six times FIFA referee of the year winner, for six consecutive years.

Almost! Perisic!!!

Modric has been overwhelmed by the Russians. Their style of play makes it difficult for him to play on the ground.

ANYONE REMEMBER THIS GUY? DEFINITELY THE BEST OF ALL TIME.

Madrid must collect their player back!!!!!

The intensity of this game, ehn!

What a shame, Naija is full of millions of young boys who play football all day and we get kicked out in the group round compared to Russia and Croatia.

You had better thank God we crashed out early. The outcome against France would have been devastating.

Besides, Nigeria is nowhere close to Germany but they crashed out. It's just a sport, biko.

This is football, abeg!

Host looks set to crash out!

Not if it is not registered in Nigeria.

Trademarks are a way of government making money from tax. You cannot register a trademark in UK and expect to enforce it across the planet.

It is a very interesting area on which more than one PhD has been written. Generally countries will not enforce trademarks unless they are weak or you pay for it with an annual fee.
What is accepted in one country ma be rejected in another

One thing that happens when you register a trademark is that the public are registered to raise objections.

If I sought to trademark the name Aribisala in Iceland or the UK it may pass without any objection.

Can I then seek to extend that to the whole world?

This makes sense but the PhD analogy is quite off. You might get away if you are not known. Reverse would be the case if you are famous. It applies here as well.

Naijal:
I think the complainant had to get the trademark done to protect the interest of his brand. It must have existed before Yomi's.

Perhaps on citing yomi using the same concept as his brand he quickly got the trademark done before he went for yomi casual, he wouldn't have made any sense telling yomi to stop using that name without tendering a valide trademark.

It's not a crime in Nigeria, the trademark is valid worldwide and cannot be used anywhere for commercial products.

I doubt this.

safarigirl:
the Chop Life people are the real criminals here. They just happen to be smart about their criminality

Yomi Casual, Alexx Ekubo and IK Ogbonna have been calling themselves the CHOP LIFE GANG for at least two years now. That UK criminal just went to patent it in the UK after stealing the idea.

They should take their documents and shove it up their asses. Anybody that wants to use Chop Life Gang in Nigeria can damn well use it if they please and like someone said Chop Life Gang is different from Chop Life. They should save their legal jargons for the UK

I referred to those guys in the UK as saboteurs on several occasions. I think word got out that Yomi was planning on making a brand out of their campaign name and someone thought to play a fast one on them.

Yomi Casual would know better to emphasize 'Gang' since some individuals are out to look for trouble.

I wish we could have someone run this commentary in Russian rather than this biased, English-player-citation-reading commentary.

GOAL

Sweden 0 - England 1

Two useless teams!

Many national copyright laws have certain protections for foreign works. For instance, the USA has copyright relations with some countries and I am sure Britain has such relations with Nigeria.

Not necessarily relations or tie based. If it is international and you go ahead to make a semblance, then it means you are asking for trouble.

The ICC take up cases of intellectual property rights, particularly when it is trademarked globally.

BluntBoy:
It is more about the concept and design. Their warning did not emphasize anything else other than concept and design.

Did you see the name on the letter?

DCTrendy:
Copy right of 22nd June, 2018. WHo is copying who among una??

UK registered trade mark? Lets assume Yomi copied them, is this actually a crime in Nigeria??

enlightened folks educate me please.
Thanks.

Yes, it is a crime. You don't mess with a trademark, particularly when you've not been given the permission to do so. The trademark here is most likely global since the name 'Chop Life' is pidgin and Nigeria is one of the most prominent Pidgin language speakers in the world. These guys would have moved to make the patent global, meaning it can't be used anywhere else in the world.

Western countries patent names and ideas a whole lot compared to us. If this was our thing, you won't be seeing cases of striking resemblance in, say, domain names.

@ Sanchez01^^^^

Interesting argument but I believe the 'saboteurs' here, let's say those behind the week old trademark, are not entirely clueless to restrict an indigenous slang to a foreign land.

I am not ruling out a global trademark here as it is most likely the case. What this would mean is that those found wanting can be tried even in their homeland so long the patent owner sues. It does not matter whether or not you are in a foreign land.

The Patent is most likely global. It best explains why Yomi was cautioned all the way from the UK.

This could be the handiwork of saboteurs. A trademark registered in less than a week.

Well, there is a huge difference between 'CHOPLIFE' and 'CHOP LIFE GANG'. Yomi Casual would need to emphasize the 'gang' in his to tell the world they are not the same.

Pls don't bet your money...
Russia will rape that Croatian team including their sexy president...

The Croatian team are technically the best side in the tournament. This isn't about their president. The Russian team have used the home advantage to a reasonable extent. It ends today.
