At present, except for TeslaExternal publicity and communicationThe name "Robotaxi" was used by some companies, including Waymo, Uber, etc.Same or similar nameTesla is considering applying for a trademark for the name "Robotaxi" to describe its paid self-driving car service. Therefore, if Tesla hopes to apply for a trademark for the name "Robotaxi", it must further convince the US Patent and Trademark Office.
This means that Tesla must take a clear approach, such as applying the name "Robotaxi" to its service products in a more clear and original way, so as to differentiate itself from other operators in the use of the name. Otherwise, the name "Robotaxi" can only be used as a general term and cannot be used as an exclusive trademark name.
However, compared to applying for the name "Robotaxi" as a trademark, the challenge Tesla currently faces is when it can bring its paid self-driving taxi service to the market and compete with Waymo, Uber and other companies.
