The US Patent and Trademark Office denied Tesla's initial trademark application for "Robotaxi," arguing the term is too generic and already used by other companies such as Amazon's Zoox. The trademark was sought for Tesla's planned self-driving car service, but the USPTO stated that the term merely describes existing goods and services. Additionally, Tesla has other trademarks pending for names like "Robobus" and "Cybercab," which might receive a different evaluation. The push for the 'Robotaxi' trademark reflects Tesla's ongoing evolution in the autonomous vehicle sector.
"The USPTO's refusal is rooted in the claim that 'Robotaxi' is a merely descriptive term widely used in the industry for self-driving services."
"The term 'robotaxi' has long been in common use within the industry, and several companies, including Amazon's Zoox, already utilize it for their offerings."
