What the actual? Where’s this?
It’s at Silverbird Galleria. It’s not the Elon Musk’s Tesla. The logos are slightly different.
And it is not Nicola Tesla’s Tesla.

@mstuapha This is more trademark than IP. Plus it’s not illegal (yet, until Tesla decides to register under CAC in Nigeria), just morally wrong.

For Pete’s sake, how many Nigerians know the brand name Tesla? There’s nothing wrong here, the owner could as well be referring to Nicola Tesla

Actually, Trademarks Registry not CAC and there is a level of protection Tesla has under law if it decides to sue. It’s called “Passing Off”, harder to prove and Tesla must show harm to its brand. If successful, damages can be awarded… Difference for registered trademarks is you don’t necessarily have to go to court and you don’t have to prove harm to your brand

Please explain for stupid people like us.
Very funny.
Didn’t say there was anything wrong. Just thought it was funny. 
Laziness on the part of whoever set up the place to tap into the creative power of their BPU (bioprocessing unit) and come up with their own original business name.
