The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) on Saturday informed that it has secured trademark registrations in three more countries – Bhutan, UAE and Mexico, a big stride towards protecting the identity of brand “Khadi" globally. Before this, the KVIC had secured trademark registrations for the word 'KHADI' in six countries namely Germany, UK, Australia, Russia, China and EU. In these countries, trademark registrations were granted in certain classes. In these countries, KVIC has got registrations in various classes that pertain to Khadi fabric, Khadi readymade garments and village industry products like Khadi soaps, Khadi cosmetics, Khadi incense sticks among others. KVIC Chairman Shri Vinai Kumar Saxena said these trademark registrations will prevent any misuse of the brand name 'Khadi' globally.
