Ms. Susan Chioma Omeh who is a 500-level (final year) student of Law at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), declares in her essay:

“Everyday, SMEs come up with intelligent ideas to better our economy but soon fold up due to lack of finance, theft of these ideas, absence of technology, inability to establish a distinct product image as well as inability to properly compete.

We cannot overemphasize the importance of a robust intellectual property system for better SMEs. When SMEs leverage on the exclusivity offered by a robust IP system; utilize IP finance; maximize the distinctiveness provided by the trademarks and designs system; and leverage on IP asset valuation and management, we all would benefit from an economy whose major contributors are made more equipped to serve us all.”
