Tesla attempt to trademark ‘Robotaxi’ rejected by US PTO

Tesla’s attempt to trademark the term “Robotaxi” for its as-yet-unreleased autonomous vehicles has been rejected by the US Patent and Trademark Office (US PTO) for being too generic, according to a new report by TechCrunch. The US PTO deemed the term “merely descriptive,” noting that it has been used generically by other companies for more than a decade.
