Media personality Willis Raburu has lost his Ksh6.5 million trademark infringement case against a telecommunications company after the High Court in Nairobi overturned a lower court's ruling. The High Court determined that the Milimani Chief Magistrate’s Court lacked the jurisdiction to handle trademark disputes under the Trademarks Act.

• Willis Raburu was initially awarded Ksh5 million in special damages and Ksh1.5 million in general damages by the lower court.
• The High Court, led by Justice Linus Kassan, ruled that jurisdiction for such matters lies exclusively with the High Court under Section 49 of the Trademarks Act.
• The telecommunications company argued that 'Bazu' is generic Sheng slang and cannot be monopolized.
