Abstract There is no point in making comprehensive provisions for the protection of various intellectual property rights without also providing a corresponding comprehensive system for enforcing the same when the rights are or about to be infringed. Therefore, an accessible, sufficient and adequate system/procedure is paramount in any worthwhile intellectual property system. Right holders must be granted means to enforce their rights just as is obtainable in other forms of tangible and intangible properties. To this end, all intellectual property systems need an effective judicial system that is empowered to deal with both civil wrongs and criminal offences while being presided over by adequate number of judges with the requisite experience in intellectual property law. This paper therefore examines: the raison-d’être for protecting intellectual property rights; the various enforcement mechanisms via the courts; sanctions and remedies for infringement of intellectual property rights amongst other incidental matters. The paper concludes with a call for the review of the sanctions for infringing intellectual property rights.

在尼日利亚法院实施知识产权

摘要没有为保护各种知识产权制定全面的规定，也没有提供相应的全面系统来保护或侵犯知识产权时，就没有必要。因此，在任何有价值的知识产权系统中，可访问，充分和适当的系统/程序至关重要。必须授予权利人以其他形式的有形和无形财产所能获得的权利来执行其权利。为此，所有知识产权制度都需要一个有效的司法制度，该制度应能够处理民事错误和刑事犯罪，同时由足够数量的具有知识产权法经验的法官主持。因此，本文研究了：保护知识产权的理由；通过法院的各种执法机制；除其他附带事项外，还涉及侵犯知识产权的制裁和补救措施。本文最后呼吁对侵犯知识产权的制裁进行审查。
