Tesla Secures Exclusive Claim to 'Cybertruck' in EU Trademark Ruling
Dec/17/2025
Tesla has strengthened its grip on the Cybertruck brand after the EU Intellectual Property Office upheld its opposition against a Chinese applicant seeking to register "cybertruckrc" for toy vehicles. The decision found a high risk of consumer confusion, noting that the contested mark wholly incorporated Tesla’s CYBERTRUCK trademark and differed only by a minor suffix. Given identical products and strong visual, phonetic, and conceptual overlap, the EUIPO rejected the application in full and ordered costs against the applicant, reinforcing Tesla’s ability to police the Cybertruck name across adjacent product categories. The following info shows detailed findings on the rejected trademark, including the scope of goods, similarity assessment, and the grounds on which the application was refused.
