ABSTRACT

This study, which was conducted under the title “The Role of Intellectual Property (IP) Law in the Growth of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria,” was carried out with the goal of discovering how intellectual property laws can assist SMEs in thriving in the market place in the growth and development of Nigeria, as it has done in other developed and developing countries; and if they cannot, determining the reasons why and also determining possible solutions. In order to achieve the goals stated above, the study investigated the impact intellectual property has on the expansion of small and medium-sized businesses. In the economy of Nigeria, the features of a typical Nigerian small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) were explored, along with the performance of SMEs in the economy of Nigeria, challenges, and opportunities. In addition to this, it suggested corrective actions that have to be performed in order to make sure that SMEs in Nigeria thrive. The research looked on the issues that intellectual property rules provide for small and medium-sized businesses in Nigeria. The most important takeaways from this study are that small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) have played and continue to play an important role in the expansion and development of many economies. In the case of Nigeria, the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has been below expectations because of certain constraints. These constraints range from our environment to our attitude, as well as the instability of the government and the change in policies implemented by the government. Armed with intellectual property rights such as trademarks, patents, and industrial design protection, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would play a crucial role as the engine of growth, development, and industrialization, as well as the creation of wealth, the elimination of poverty, and new employment opportunities.
