BISWA BANGLA - Registered Trademark


BISWA BANGLA – Registered Trademark

13.06.2018| West Bengal Government in last week have got the Trademark i.e. “Biswa Bangla” (TM No. 2759274) registered in name of society i.e. West Bengal State Export promotion society under the Department of MSME & T, Govt. of West Bengal. West Bengal State Export promotion society is an arm of West Bengal Government.

Registrar of Trademarks have passed an order for abandonment of Trademark due to non-filing of Reply to the examiner report. However, the Government of West Bengal changed the IP Attorney to carry on the registration procedure.

Story of this mark is quite interesting as Mr. Abhishek Banerjee has earlier applied for the registration of the same Trademark in the year 2013. However, the Govt. of West Bengal opposed for the registration of the same and Mr. Abhishek Banerjee on 13th November, 2017 withdrawn the application. It is pertinent to mention that Mr. Abhishek Banerjee is nephew of Mamata Banerjee. Mr. Abhishek Banerjee is an Indian politician and a member of parliament to the 16th Lok Sabha from Diamond Harbour Lok Sabha constituency, West Bengal. He won the Indian general election, 2014 being an All India Trinamool Congress candidate. He is also the National President of All India Trinamool Youth Congress the youth wing of the All India Trinamool Congress, a political party in India, currently in power in the Indian state of West Bengal.

Other States in the country may go for the same and gradually India is leaping forward by identifying the importance of the Intellectual Property Rights.

Note: The Trademark mentioned herein are used for information purposes and belongs to their owner.
