  • The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has refused Tesla's attempt to trademark the term "Robotaxi" in reference to its vehicles, TechCrunch reported on Wednesday, citing a filing.

Tesla's attempt to trademark the term "robotaxi" in the U.S. was denied by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) because the term was deemed too generic and merely descriptive, according to a report by TechCrunch. The USPTO's decision was based on the argument that "robotaxi" is a commonly used term to describe autonomous taxi services, and thus, it should remain available for general use rather than being owned by a single company. This ruling could impact Tesla's plans to launch a robotaxi service, as the company would not have exclusive rights to the term.
