(Bloomberg) A battle over the ownership of the name of an African ethnic group is stirring debate about cultural appropriation. Yoruba is one of Nigeria’s major ethnic groups, and it makes up about 21% of the population, according to World Atlas.

Ensure Your Trademarks and Brands are Adequately Protected in the UK

Feb 22, 2021 SPONSOR As we all know, on January 1, 2020, the United Kingdom (UK) left the European Union (EU) under Brexit. There hasn’t been an immediate impact on trademark protection as a result of this change. However, if you have a EU trademark and you fail to “clone” your EU mark in the UK, you will eventually lose that trademark’s UK protection. To preserve UK protection, you must file a comparable UK trade mark application by September, 30 2021, based on your existing or pending EU trademark. We are currently actively doing that for our clients, working with foreign associates providing a 50% discount for such filings between now and the deadline.
