Evidence of Increasing Scams Targeting Trademark Applicants - and What Can Be Done

Venable has seen an increase in trademark scams being sent to clients over the last several years. This is not surprising, considering the increase in trademark filings, new e-commerce, and small businesses since the start of the pandemic.

Tesla trademarks ‘Robobus’ and ‘Robotaxi’

Tesla has trademarked ‘Robobus’ and ‘Robotaxi’ – giving us a better idea of the vehicles’ names, which were somehow unclear despite the unveiling event last week.

Despite having an actual launch event for the vehicle last week, the details about Tesla’s Robotaxi were very limited, and the vehicle’s name was not even clear.
