The US Patent and Trademark Office has rejected Tesla's initial attempt to trademark the term "Robotaxi," asserting that the name is generic and widely utilized by other companies, including Waymo. The USPTO labeled the term as merely descriptive, suggesting it cannot be trademarked as it describes similar autonomous vehicle services already present in the market. Tesla must now provide further evidence in response to the refusal if they wish to pursue this trademark. Additionally, Tesla continues to seek trademarks for related names such as 'Robobus' and faces challenges with 'Cybercab.'
The USPTO denied Tesla's trademark application for 'Robotaxi,' noting that the name is generic and already used by companies like Waymo and Zoox.
The term 'Robotaxi' is considered merely descriptive, as it describes similar goods and services that already exist in the market, preventing Tesla from obtaining exclusivity.
