Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) has filed an invalidation action against all three Community Trade Marks (CTMs) that have been registered between 2010 and 2014 in the European Union with the brand name Khadi, MSME minister of state Giriraj Singh told the Rajya Sabha.
KVIC has engaged an expert legal agency for deregistration of these three Community Trade Marks, he said.
In order to brand and sell Khadi all over the world, KVIC has taken the initiative for the registration of Khadi as Brand under World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to promote KVI products worldwide. It has also taken steps for marketing of KVI products online domestically and internationally, an official statement said.
