Blockchain And IP Enforcement

Blockchain technology has received widespread attention for its potential to transform virtually every sector of our economy – from finance, healthcare, and logistics to the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights. Moreover, the technology itself has created its own industries, including new markets for digital property (e.g., non-fungible tokens (NFTs)) with associated intellectual property rights to protect and enforce. Governments, courts, and practitioners alike are continuously how this emerging technology can be used to improve existing IP enforcement resources, and whether and how blockchain technology applications fit into the current IP legal regime. On this episode, we speak with Abi Hamed Haruna, Board Director and Managing Legal Counsel for Oracle. Abi gives us an insight into the importance of Blockchain and its importance in Nigeria.
