Entrepreneur and the Group Managing Director of CFL Group, Lai Omotola, has reacted to the decision of Nollywood star, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, to adopt the name ‘Omotola’ as a trademark.
The business icon noted that Jalade-Ekeinde will be running afoul of the trademark law if she uses the name ‘Omotola’ as a trademark, stressing that the name is a common name and not an invention.
The foremost entrepreneur stated that on getting the wind of what Jalade-Ekeinde had decided to do, he contacted an external solicitor in Abuja, who did findings at the Federal Ministry of Trade and Industry and found out that Red Hot Concept is her company name and what she just did was to add ‘Omotola’ to it.
