The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta, - TopicsExpress

The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta, has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and its chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega, to pay a firm, Bedding Holdings Limited (BHL) the sum of N17.25billion for copyrights infringement. The CJ also faulted the INEC and Jega over the N34.5billion contracts the commission awarded in 2010 for the purchase of Direct Data Capturing (DDC) machines for voters’ registration. The plaintiff (BHL) had filed legal action against INEC and Jega and alleged that the defendants infringed on its patented right over the process and application of DDC machines for the compilation and collection of various bio-data. The plaintiff also named the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and the companies to which INEC awarded the contracts – Haier Electrical Appliances Corporation Limited, Zinox Technologies Ltd and Avante International Technology as co-defendants to the suit. BHL also claimed that the defendants awarded contracts for the purchase and deployment of the DDC machines for the compilation of the Voter Register without its consent. In his judgement over the matter, Justice Auta held that in the award and execution of the contracts, INEC, its chairman and three firms involved in the transaction infringed on a valid and subsisting patent right owned solely by BHL. The judge held that from the totality of evidence provided by parties in the case, it was clear that the BHL actually owned a subsisting patent right over the process, application and the use of DDC machines for voters’ registration. The CJ therefore ordered INEC, Jega and others to pay BHL N17.25billion as compensation for infringing on its valid and subsisting patent right. Justice Auta further upheld the BHL’s argument and evidence to the effect that it is the sole owner of the patent right over the process and that its right was infringed by the conduct of the defendants, except the AGF. The Judge also ordered INEC and the other defendants to henceforth obtain the consent of the plaintiff before procuring and utilising the DDC machines for voters’ registration and related purposes.
