The Federal High Court in Lagos has asked Enterprise Logistics Speciale Limited, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Nigeria Inter-Bank solution System Plc (NIBSS), and Avanage Nigeria Limited to reach an amicable solution in a ₦98.5 billion patent infringement complaint.
Justice Deinde Dipeolu issued the directive after delaying to start the trial due to the defendants’ lack of representation.
The plaintiffs, Enterprise Logistics Speciale Limited and its Managing Director, Samuel Kolajo, are seeking damages for alleged infringement of their patented cash management technology, breach of a Non-Disclosure Agreement, and alleged losses resulting from the refusal to deploy their solution on Nigeria’s national payment network.
Tayo Oyetibo (SAN), Jessica Adeola-Ajayi, and Esther Bawa represented the plaintiffs in the proceedings, while Olaoluwa Ale-Daniel represented NIBSS.
The Registrar of Patents and Designs, Avanage Nigeria Limited, and the Central Bank of Nigeria were all not represented.
Oyetibo notified the court that the case had been set for trial and that the plaintiffs’ witness was present and willing to testify.
In the interest of justice, Justice Dipeolu ruled that hearing notices should be issued and served on absent defendants first.
The judge also drew the parties’ attention to provisions of the Federal High Court Act that authorize courts to facilitate amicable conflict resolution.
He then directed the parties to meet and make sincere efforts to settle the case outside of court.
According to NIBSS counsel, the payment system operator is subject to the CBN’s regulatory scrutiny and cannot make independent judgments.
He contended that NIBSS was opposed to the formation of a monopoly, which he saw as crucial to the debate.
Oyetibo, on the other hand, contended that the plaintiffs had made significant investments in creating patented ideas that the defendants allegedly attempted to infringe.
He claimed that the disputed innovations belonged to the second plaintiff and that the law granted him exclusive use of the inventions.
The plaintiffs, according to the senior advocate, remain open to negotiating a settlement.
The plaintiffs claimed in their amended statement of claim that they developed multiple cash management technologies beginning in 2011 to modernise Nigeria’s cash handling system and eliminate physical cash movement in the banking sector.
They named the inventions Mobile Smart Deposit, Mobile Cash Sorting and Processing Device, PillarSalt Cash Supply Chain, Cash Recycling and Retail Cash Management Solution, and PillarSalt Cash and Terminal Management System.
According to them, the technologies were covered by three patent certificates obtained under the Patents and Designs Act.
The plaintiffs claimed that after sharing information about their innovations with the defendants, the CBN issued instructions for the registration and operation of Bank Neutral Cash Hubs, which they claimed largely copied their patented techniques without their approval or compensation.
They want the court to proclaim them the sole owners of the patented technology and prohibit the defendants from utilizing them without written approval.
They also want the court to order NIBSS to activate their PillarSalt Cash Management Solution on the Nigeria Central Switch within 30 days and to overturn the CBN’s Bank Neutral Cash Hubs regulations.
The monetary claims include ₦500m for alleged patent infringement against the first and second defendants, ₦200m for alleged breach of a 2015 Non-Disclosure Agreement, and ₦97.8bn for alleged losses arising from NIBSS’s refusal to integrate the PillarSalt solution since December 2016.
In its updated defense, NIBSS denied infringing any patents or violating the Non-Disclosure Agreement.
It contended that the plaintiffs sought exclusive rights that would prevent other operators with identical solutions from accessing the national payment system, which would constitute an illegal restraint of commerce and create a monopoly.
If settlement talks fail, Justice Dipeolu adjourned the case to October 15 and 16, 2026, for trial.
