Sebugwawo & Co. Advocates recently secured a landmark victory in a trademark infringement case on behalf of a fast-growing Ugandan tech startup. The High Court ruled in favor of the client, affirming their exclusive rights to their brand identity and ordering the infringing party to cease use and pay damages.

This case is expected to set an important precedent for future intellectual property enforcement in Uganda, particularly in the digital and tech space. It also highlights the growing significance of IP protection for startups and innovators navigating the competitive business environment.

Lead counsel on the case, Advocate Grace Nabunya, emphasized the importance of proactive legal protection. “This win reinforces the value of registering and enforcing your intellectual property rights. Our client’s brand is their identity, and today we helped secure it,” she said.
