New Delhi, July 10 (TIWN) Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) has secured trademark registrations in Bhutan, UAE and Mexico -- a big stride towards protecting the identity of brand "Khadi" globally, the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises said on Saturday.

While KVIC obtained the latest trademark registration in Bhutan on July 9, trademark registration was granted in UAE last month on the 28th. With this, KVIC has succeeded in securing trademark registration for the first time in a Gulf country. Earlier, KVIC got the trademark registration for “Khadi” in Mexico in December 2020.
