Tesla vs. Tesla Power: The Trademark Battle Unfolds

Elon Musk's Tesla Inc. has taken legal action against Gurugram-based Tesla Power India Ltd for trademark infringement, as revealed by a Delhi High Court record. The electric vehicle (EV) giant, headquartered in Delaware, United States, alleges that the Indian company is unlawfully using the trade names "Tesla Power" and "Tesla Power USA."

Quoting a Tesla Power representative, Reuters reported that it has been present in India much before Musk’s Tesla and had all government approvals.

In response, Tesla Power has asserted that it has no plans to manufacture EVs and will not market any other entities' EVs under the disputed trademark. Despite this, Tesla Inc. contends that the Indian company continued to use its brand name even after receiving a cease-and-desist notice in April 2022, prompting the lawsuit.

The Delhi High Court has granted Tesla Power three weeks to submit written responses following the presentation of supporting documents. The next hearing is scheduled for May 22.

This legal dispute emerges amidst discussions of Tesla's potential entry into the Indian market. Elon Musk's anticipated visit to India was canceled in April, followed by a surprise trip to China. Meanwhile, Tesla Power, reportedly present in India prior to Musk's Tesla, asserts having obtained all necessary government approvals.

India's recent reduction of import duties on electric cars aims to attract investments in the EV sector, a move seen as facilitating Tesla's potential entry into the Indian market.
