Anti-Corrosive Patent Right: Court Declares Command Clem Owner
The Federal Court of appeal sitting in Calabar, the Cross River State capital has declared the Comand Clem Nigeria Limited (CCNL) the owner of patent OF Anti-Comosive Chemical Invention. The appeal court, after several hearing on the patent right and the circumstances surrounding the invention which led to a legal battle between Mobil Producing Unlimited versus Comand Clem, declared that CCNL is the true owner of the patent. Delivering the Judgement in Calabar, the presiding Judge, Justice D. Akas said that CCNL is the owner of patent right, and has the legal right to demand for compensation from the infringing companies. By this Judgement, the issue of ownership of the patience right has been laid to rest, and this has been the bone of contention between Mobil and Comandclem for over nine years of continuous legal battle. Mobil had alleged that Dr. Clement Uwemedimo was their employee before he was commissioned to carry out the research, but could not show evidence to such claim of employment. Reacting to judgment the Comanclem Management opined that the judgment has justified the respect for the rule of land pointing out that non of the infringing companies will escape, and that they know such infringing companies for which Mobil is number one. Speaking to the press on the latest development, the Rivers State coordinator of Comandclem, Pastor Silas Manasseh said that the matter of Ownership of patent is similar to that of ownership of land, pointing out that the owner of the Land also owns the property on the land. Pastor Silas said that since the victory has come to this stage, that every other benefits that is accruing to the right of patentees will be vigoroughly pursued for the benefits of the patentees. He assured that the director of Commandclem, Dr. Clement Uwemedimo and all coordinators in the organisation will ensure that patentees of Comandclem invention get the benefits and reward for their efforts as soon as possible.
