The amount we charge for our trademark is N80,000. meanwhile we charge N5,000 per search done.

darkness looms over this nation but I'm very confident that the will of God is what will come to pass over our country Nigeria.

I know from the beginning that Goodluck Jonathan is God sent to deliver us from the bondage of the islamists. Nigeria is not an islamic nation, we need to join hands together to support Jonathan to end the APC agenda to islamise Nigeria. It is only a pity for the Southerners that allow themselves to be used in this quest to islamise our dear country. Even Egypt rejected the islamic brotherhood party, so why Nigeria. I pray, their plans will not work.

God bless Goodluck Jonathan!

God bless Nigeria!

WHAT IS TRADEMARK?
A Trademark is a Mark, Sign, or Logo by which a product is known, described, recognised and distinguished from other products. It ca be a sin, a logo or a name. In case of a name, its called a tradename.
The name by which a business is known, described or associated is a very important aspect of carrying on a business because a business’ name indicates what such a business does and what it represents. Some business people however do not pay much attention to the legal rules and regulations governing the use of their Trade Names in Nigeria. This has lead to loss of brand value and in some cases litigation by the registered owner(s) who will not want his/their Trade Name to be associated with another business entity to which he/they have no relationship or control.
TRADENAME

A Trade Name is the name by which a business distinguishes itself and its trading objects from all other businesses. The Companies and Allied Matters Act (“CAMA”) requires that every individual, firm or corporation having a place of business in Nigeria and or carrying on business in Nigeria, whether such a business is carried on in the individual’s name or in a corporate name, must be registered at the Corporate Affairs Commission (“CAC”) within a period of twenty-eight (28) days of the commencement of such a business.

THE TRADEMARK ACT

The Trade Marks Act; Chapter 436; Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990 provides for Trademarks and Patents in Nigeria. A trademark is a symbol or a sign which differentiates the goods and services of one business from another one. You can register your trademark - a name, logo, slogan, domain name, shape, colour or sound with the Commercial Law department, Ministry of Trade and Investment in Nigeria. This can legally protect your trademark from use by a competitor. The trademark must be distinctive for the goods and services that you provide, not be deceptive, illegal or immoral and not be similar to existing trademarks.

INTRODUCTION

A trademark provides protection to the owner of the mark by ensuring the exclusive right to use it to identify goods or services, or to authorize another to use it in return for payment. The period of protection varies, but a trademark can be renewed indefinitely beyond the time limit on payment of additional fees. Trademark protection is enforced by the courts, which in most systems have the authority to block trademark infringement.

PROCEDURE FOR REGISTRATION OF TRADE MARKS

1. NAME SEARCH
You have to choose a minimum of 2 names first ad submit it to the trademark registry through your agent, the essence of the name search is to find out whether or not somebody has been using that name in the marketplace. E.g if you want to start a sachet water company and you need to develop a unique name for the water and logo to identify your product, you need to select a name for the brand and logo. E.g. BALLY WATER, SOPSY WATER ETC. The names will be searched ad if its available, you go to the next step.

2. FILING YOUR APPLICATION
The usual market practice is to instruct a local Attorney/Agent in Nigeria, who would file and process applications at the Nigerian Registry of Trade Marks, Patents, Designs and Copyright.
After filing the application for trade mark registration, the Registrar issues an official acknowledgement which shows the official number and filing date of the application, and the amount paid. Usually its essence is to inform you officially that your filing has been received.

3. REGISTRATION
Once the acknowledgement letter is issued, the registry begins the registration which includes lot of processes, after a period of time, the trademark is registered and an ACCEPTANCE LETTER is issued. This is the fficial letter tat confirms the trademark registration. Upon the issuance of the acceptance letter, you are now a proud owner of your trademark. HOWEVER THIS IS SUBJECT TO PUBLICATION IN THE TRADEMARK JOURNAL.

4. PUBLICATION
Every trade mark application must be advertised in the Nigerian Trademark Journal, and is open to opposition for a period of two (2) months from the date of advertisement.

If no objections are received within the specified period or no objections are sustained, the Registrar will issue the applicant with a certificate of registration.

When issued, the Registration Certificate will reflect the date of initial filing as date of registration (i.e. date of filing acknowledgement).

Nigerian trade mark registrations have an initial validity of seven (7) years, and are thereafter indefinitely renewable for periods of fourteen (14) years. An application for renewal should be made not less than three (3) months from the due date.


HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO REGISTER THE TRADEMARK?

Usually, the Trademark registration can take a lot of time, up to 3 to 4 months because, it requires a lot of processes, But We register Trademarks in Nigeria for N80,000 within 3WEEKS from the date of receipt of result of a successful Name search.

HOW LONG IS A TRADEMARK VALID?:

The trademark is valid for 7 years from the date of application, renewable for further periods of 14 years.

WHEN CAN YOUR TRADEMARK BE REMOVED BY THE TRADEMARK OFFICE:
It is necessary to note that a trademark may be taken off the register in any of the following circumstances:
i)non use, on the request of any person concerned, if it can be established that the mark was registered without any bona fide intention to use, and there has in fact been bona fide use of the trademark;
ii) it may be removed for non use during a continuous period of at least five years during which the trademark was registered.
v)Non compliance to the registrar’s statutory notice to renew by the registered proprietor

Cost of production
Cost per bag is N24(average cost)
N24 x 600 bags = N14,400 per day


Profit per day:
N36,000 – N14,400 = N21,600

Monthly calculation of profit:
N21,600x 26 working days= N561,600
Less provision for monthly contingencies N100,000
N461,600

On a worst case scenario, you will make notting less than N400,000 (NET) monthly.

Fellow readers, i have read several of your queries about Nafdac registration requirements and your plights towards same. I want you to know that this business is highly regulated in Nigeria and other part men the world.

4. Your factory building and your equipments installed.
5. Your production manager must be any of the following: food nutritionist, food technologist, any chemical scientist, micro-biologist, water engineer, etc.
6. The last is a secret of getting your nafdac number easily and very fast, DO ALL YOU CAN DO TO MAKE SURE THAT NAFDAC DOES NOT CONDEMN YOUR FACTORY DURING THEIR INSPECTION. Because once they find a reason, they will ask you to fix it and they will come back and and back again, and each of their visit is money. So dont turn yourself to their prey.
You can contact me if there is any way i could be of assistance to you.

What a fool you are illuminaty! The main problem with you and others like you is that you are lazy, daft, and suffering from poverty of ideas. I pity your parents, (if only you have any). May God have mercy on us over the contagion of money ritualism in our land.

You may all agree with me that every society or community has its own peculiarity based on some prevailing factors.
The same goes for Nigeria. Based on my experience in the Nigerian market and business world generally, i have found out that there is an industry in Nigerian market which some wise investors have also discovered to be the goldmine of this age.
THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY.

No matter the market index used to assess the viability, feasibility and profitability, it is still the best as far as Nigerian market is concern. The reasons for this are as follows:
1. It requires a little capital unlike other sectors.
2. Its Return on Investment is more than 100% even beginning from the first year.
3. The cost of maintenance and operation is very low.
4. The industry is highly regulated because it has contributed immensely to the growth of the Nigerian economy.
5. The raw materials are cheap and readily available.
6. Even the government testified that the industry is still the strength of the country in terms of growth of local manufacturing.
7. The Nigerian market is very large that the few operators in the industry cannot satisfy the need.
8. The industry have the potential to realize your start up capital in less than 2 years irrespective of what you put in as capital.
9. Foreign companies have discovered this and they leveraged on our lack of information about the industry to come into Nigeria en mass to float food and beverage companies which today became market giants which we all patronize.
10. Owning a business structure in this industry is a pride and it even attracts support in form of grants, tax relief, loans, etc. From government, corporate institutions and individuals from all works of life.

CAN YOU ANSWER THIS QUESTIONS?
1. How many people eat a particular food item in Nigeria everyday?
2. How many people drink water, juice, milk drinks, medicinal drinks, or other form of beverages in Nigeria everyday?
3. How many people celebrate one form of event or the other every friday and saturday where they will need beverages? And lot of more other questions.

The truth is that people will continue to eat and drink as long as they live. Infact, the awareness for processed food items and packaged fruit juices and other kind of drinks is getting increased on daily basis. And the most painful part of it is that most of the operators and business owners in this fastest growing industry in Nigeria are non-Nigerians. WHAT ARE WE NIGERIANS DOING.

I have discovered this as a great investment potentials for Nigerians and even foreigners, individuals and corporate bodies.
For clarification purpose, these are investment potentials in the food and beverage industry in Nigeria:
1. Agricultural food production.
2. Processed food items.
3. Fruit juice.
4. Sachet water and bottled water.
5. Diary milk.
6. Biscuits, chips, grains,
7. Powdered food items and beverages, etc.
These are broad classifications. I have developed over 500 products that are investment potentials with full feasibility studies prepared for each. I equally have manuals and other procedures on how to start them. Including how to secure NAFDAC registration number. I equally can help out on consultancy basis for potential investors all to ensure that your dreams become reality.

LONG LIVE NIGERIA!!

My fellow nairalanders, i need to post this avert possible misconception about my previous post where i cited that N0.5m will go a long way on a tight budget.
Based on the current economic condition we are faced with now in Nigeria, the equipments are now more expensive which makes the equipments to now stand at around N850k. So lets say with this amount, you are going somewhere to seeing your dream come through.
Please note: This does not include the cost of the building, borehole, delivery van, and NAFDAC reg.
But all thesame, i'll encourage interested persons to contact me on 08032800595 so that we can review together all possibilities that abound in cutting costs.

for more information on how to start your own pure water factory in less than 2 months, send me a mail through olusolaj@ymail.com.

To your business success.

Your pure water consultant.

Dear poster, there are many ways to make extra money; one is to concentrate on whatever is it that arouses your passion and interest, the more you do it the more you are on your way to success ladder. the second way is to learn the way of others to take a cue from it. a popular adage says, "if you want to see far in life, the best thing to do is to climb the shoulders of a tall man" you may do this by learning what others have done successfully and that has given them money. i have been into online business for over a year now and God has been helping me. if you can contact me on olusolaj@ymail.com. we can talk better. i can give you 8 good ways you can make consistent money online no matter your level of proficiency. i will give you 3 of it for free and help you set it up but others will cost you some bucks. even with the free ones you can go a long way in making extra cash.

This money generating idea is what i discovered about few months ago on the internet, all you need is to register with them and you will be shared out of the profits they generate on weekly basis, every thursday precisely. you also get $9 extra money if you refer any other person into the business. all they demand is register, subscribe and read their weekly mails. finish. it is a revolution to internet business. it is new to Naija, as only few people has gotten to know about it. and most of them are in Ibadan. if you are serious about it give it a trial.

The standard cost of setting up a pure water factory does not really have an absolute value, because it depend on your scale of production. For a Relatively small scale, with N0.5m you will go a long way. If you are intrested, i can draw up the budget for you. Just contact me as above.

you may send me your request on the matter, i am ready to put you through relatively free of charge just send me your email on 08032800595 or send me an open mail using "pure water" as the subject on olusolaj@ymail.com

I dont need to say what i know nothing about. i have been in the production of pure water for the past 5 years. i have decided to share my little idea with any potential enterpreneur in that line.

If there is a business in the current day Nigeria of ours whose nature is production of goods and services and whose payback period is less than ONE year and the Return On Investment is over 50%, then I will show you this sachet water production.

Every level of entry into the business is highly profitable; from,

Production


Wholesale selling


Retailing.

Let’s calculate how true these claims are-:

Assuming you have only one Automatic sealing machine that produces your sachet water and you can afford to have only one delivery van that distribute your products.

1 automatic machine (@100% utilization)
Capacity: 40 sachets per minute
i.e. 2,400 sachets in 1hour
Which is equivalent to 120bags in 1 hour

Let’s conclude that;

On the average, you produce 100 bags in 1hour, and assuming you was able to work for 4hours in a day.
i.e. 1 machine producing 400 bags of pure water in a day. (sincerely, an average sachet water factory in Nigeria today produces between 700 bags to 800 bags per machine in a day) so it all depends on you.

Still based on our assumption of 400 bags in a day and a bag is being sold between N70 and N80.

So let’s also assume N70 per bag;

400 bags x N70 per bag =N28, 000 per day.

N28, 000 x 28 working days in a month
=N784, 000 per month.
Amazed? Wait and see!

N784, 000 x 12 months in a year,
= N9, 408,000

Did I hear you say it can’t be true?

1. Government has failed to provide the basic drinking water need of every household in Nigeria.
2. The more the people in towns, the more the need for people to drink water.
3. There is not going to be a day, people will stop drinking water.
4. Sachet water has no close or partially close substitute.
5. The more the producers, the more the consumers of sachet water.
6. The popularity of sachet water is growing on alarming rates even in towns and villages across Nigeria.
7. Sachet water is very cheap and affordable to buy even by the poorest man on earth.
8. It is a major source of revenue for the government, so the government is even encouraging more producers.
9. It is widely acceptable and used for events and parties.
10. Consumption of sachet water is not restricted by any law or religious belief unlike alcohol or some other drinking products.
11. The set up requires little start-up capital compared to other factories.
12. There is ready made market for the product. All you need is just produce.
13. The payback period for the investment into the business is less than 1year. Amazing?
14. The return on Investment (ROI) is more than 50% and it is subject to increase on expansion of the business.
15. It requires little or no periodical acquisition of raw materials for production; water is a free gift of nature.
