What this means for businesses in Bihar
Bihar files a smaller share than the largest states, but the Register is national, so a similar mark filed anywhere in India can still block yours. A search before filing protects you from that.
Whatever the volume, the steps are the same: search the brand, pick the right class, file the application online, reply to any objection and watch the opposition period. Our free brand name search and Class Finder help you start.
Which Registry covers Bihar?
Applications from Bihar are handled by the Kolkata Trade Marks Registry, which covers West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam, the other north-eastern states, Sikkim and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. IP India decides the Registry by the applicant's principal place of business. Filing is online, so you do not need to visit the Registry unless it calls you for a hearing.
