dc.description.abstractIn pre-industrial societies, land functioned as the source of virtually all wealth. However, the advent of the industrial revolution changed all that. It required that certain individuals and institutions be willing to take substantial risks in order to finance new inventions, machinery, and business enterprises. Eventually, bankers, intellectual property (IP) creators and owners, industrialists, and other holders of large sums of money replaced landowners as the most powerful economic force. By reason of all these, existing laws were recalibrated and new laws were made to ensure that people who invested their funds in the hope of realising greater profits and thereby becoming business owners of property and business firms were neither disappointed nor defrauded. One of such laws is the Nigerian Trademark law, which primary purpose is to protect business reputation, goodwill, and deception. However, despite the presence of this law, there are business and intellectual thieves of trademarks everywhere; crime as an enterprise has robbed the owners of trademark of their legitimate gains, all because, in part, these infringers have been able to besiege, assault and to seize the price within the walls of this intellectual turf. This breach is possible because of the absence of capable guardians (mechanisms of enforcement) which have really helped those motivated offenders (infringers) to hit the fortress of trademark protection in Nigeria. Consequently, the need for a more-involving trademark law will definitely save the day in the modern world.
