Award-winning skit maker, Chukwuemeka Emmanuel fondly known as Oga Sabinus, sues Friesland Foods Wamco Nigeria Plc, makers of Peak Milk with a N1Billion suit for compensation and damages.
The advert was made to celebrate the Peak National Breakfast. This was made on the Peak Milk Nigeria verified Instagram page (peak_milk), 24th May, 2022.
His lawyer, Stanley Alieke, noted that the company used his registered trademark ‘Something hooge’ without his(Sabinus) consent.
He noted that,
“the slogan was trademarked on the 26th of November 2021 with the file number: NG/TM/O/2021/48316. 10. On this note, we make the demand for the payment of the sum of Five Hundred Million Naira (N500m) as compensation for the unauthorized use of the intellectual property belonging to our client.
âAnd another five hundred million Naira for damages for the trauma; emotional, physical, psychological, and mental trauma our client has suffered for the Trademark theft and infringement of his intellectual property rights.â
In the same vein, he sued UAC Foods makers of Gala with N100Million for using his cartoon-like image in an advert without his permission.
The notice dated 25th, May by his lawyer,Stanley Alieke, reads,
âYour company UAC Food Ltd. has been using the brand picture and other intellectual properties of Sabinus to make adverts for your Gala sausage roll without the consent or authorization of our clients.
âYou made a post on your verified Instagram handle (gala sausage roll), on the 23rd of May, 2022 with the picture of our client. The post which was a cartoon of our client was captioned âthe way I calculate everything in my lifeâ.
âWe demand that you pay our client the sum of one hundred million Naira (N100m) for the use of the picture which is the average fee our client charges for his picture to be used for adverts and promotions.â
However, Emeeyene Henry Esq., an Intellectual Property Rights consultant, argued that the skit maker may not win an infringement case against Peak Milk and Gala.
Esq Henry noted that truly Oga Sabinus registered the Trademark for the words âSomething Hoogeâ, but the phrase was registered in Class 36, in the class for Financial Services and Real Estate.â
Furthermore, the lawyer added that the company, Peak Milk, the skit maker threatened to sue is not a real estate company. He may not be able to fully convince the court how companies that are not into real estate has violated his right.
Also, she explained that a cartoon character that was adopted by UAC,food makers of Gala cannot be proven to be his real picture.
In her words,
âMaking a caricature of a person and using same is an exception to Copyright Infringement under Fair Use. It is called the Parody or Pastiche rule of exception.
âIn the light of the above, Sabinus cannot claim any Copyright Infringement as the Law allows the use of Parody or carricature as exceptions to copyright Infringement.â
