Tesla's attempt to trademark the term 'Robotaxi' has been rejected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on the grounds that it is too generic. A nonfinal office action allows Tesla three months to respond, or the application will be abandoned. The trademark denial came alongside other applications, including for 'Robobus', which are still under examination. The USPTO determined that 'Robotaxi' is descriptive of the goods and services offered, as it is used by other companies in the industry, thus making it a generic term rather than a unique brand identifier.
The USPTO found that 'robotaxi' is a generic term used to describe similar goods and services by other companies, leading to the refusal of Tesla's trademark application.
Tesla has three months to respond to the USPTO's nonfinal office action regarding its attempt to trademark 'Robotaxi', which was deemed merely descriptive.
