How a trademark is registered for a business in Siwan
Trademark rights in India go to the person who can show the earliest claim — by use or by filing — so the date of application matters more than anything done afterwards. The steps are a search, an application in Form TM-A for the right class, examination by the Registry, a four-month publication window and registration for ten years. Individuals, start-ups and Udyam-registered enterprises pay ₹4,500 per class; other applicants pay ₹9,000.
Jurisdiction follows the applicant’s principal place of business. For Bihar that is the Kolkata office of the Trade Marks Registry, which will examine the application, issue the examination report and fix any hearing — all of which are handled electronically.
This page covers Siwan; the service itself is described in full on our Trademark Registration service page.
Brands in Siwan: who should register
In Siwan the names with commercial value belong to trusted jewellers and showrooms, to travel, ticketing and overseas-manpower agencies on which migrant families depend, and to schools and coaching centres. Agencies are particularly exposed: a name that workers trust is easily imitated by an unlicensed operator, and a registered mark is one of the few tools for stopping it.
Jewellers and showrooms
Class 14 and 35.
Travel and manpower agencies
Class 39 and 35, in the name of the licensed entity.
Schools and coaching centres
Class 41.
Trademark points for each type of business
Shops, Showrooms & Restaurants. For a shop, the mark is the name customers use when they tell someone where to go. It can be registered as a word, or together with the signboard design as a label. Using a well-known company’s name in a shop title — even by a dealer who genuinely sells that company’s goods — is not permitted without its consent. A year of establishment claimed in the application should be backed by an old bill, licence or photograph.
Service & Trading Firms. A service firm’s mark appears on proposals, vehicles, uniforms, invoices and its website rather than on goods, and those are the proofs of use to keep. Because the service classes are broad, the specification should list the actual services — civil construction, manpower supply, freight forwarding — and not the whole class heading. Firms that convert from proprietorship to company should record the change so the mark follows the business.
Coaching Institutes & Schools. A coaching name now lives as much on a video channel, an app and a printed test series as on a signboard, and each of those is a place where it can be copied. Class 41 covers the teaching itself; recorded courses and apps bring in class 9, and printed notes class 16. The channel or handle should be held in the institute’s own account rather than a teacher’s personal one, so that it stays with the brand.
Why registering the mark matters
- A former partner, employee or landlord who knows the name is unregistered is usually the first to file it.
- A firm that changes its constitution without updating the Registry can find its registration in the name of an entity that no longer exists.
- A channel or app registered in one teacher’s personal account leaves with that teacher.
- Only a registered mark gives the statutory right to sue for infringement; an unregistered name must rely on the harder remedy of passing off.
- A registration is property — it can be licensed, franchised or sold with the business.
How we take your application through
- Portfolio check. We list every name, logo and tagline in use and the classes each one touches, so nothing important is left unprotected.
- Risk-ranked search. Each mark is searched and graded; weak or conflicting marks are flagged before any fee is paid.
- Filing strategy. Word mark first or logo first, single or multi-class, with or without a prior-use claim — decided and filed.
- Prosecution and watch. Objections and oppositions are answered on time, and the journal is watched for similar marks filed by others.

Registering a trademark from Siwan: common questions
Apart from a police complaint, a registered trademark lets you take civil action to stop use of the name and to have online listings and pages removed. If your mark is not yet registered, apply now and act on passing off in the meantime, with proof of your earlier use.
Only as far as the dealership agreement allows, typically as “authorised dealer of …” in the manner the company specifies. Making the company’s brand part of your own trading name, or registering it, would infringe its rights and usually breaches the agreement.
It stays in your personal name until it is assigned. You should execute an assignment to the company and record it with the Registry; otherwise the company uses the mark without owning it, which complicates enforcement, licensing and any future sale or funding.
The same name can be covered for classroom teaching in class 41 and, where you sell recorded courses, an app or printed material, in classes 9 and 16 as well. Filing for the classes you actually use closes the gaps a copier would otherwise exploit.
™ shows that you claim the mark and may be used once the application is filed. ® may be used only after the registration certificate is issued; using it earlier is an offence.
No. An examination report states the examiner’s concerns — usually similar earlier marks or a descriptive name. A reasoned reply within the deadline, sometimes followed by a hearing, clears a large share of objections.
