USPTO Patent Legalization for Nigeria
How to authenticate a USPTO Patent Document for use in Nigeria: the exact route, translation requirements, and full-service handling from West Palm Beach.
An apostille is not accepted. Your USPTO Patent must be authenticated by the U.S. Department of State, then legalized at the Nigeria embassy.
