Summary

Tesla's bid to trademark "Robotaxi" was rejected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as too generic, with another application still under review. Meanwhile, its "Cybercab" plan is facing challenges from companies leveraging similar "Cyber" trademarks, including one focused on aftermarket Cybertruck accessories. Tesla must provide detailed evidence to counteract these claims, while competing tech firms continue to push ahead.
