bzcat Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2014/05/07/tesla-drops-model-e-trademark-but-ford-hangs-on/ Tesla and Ford reached some type of agreement after Ford filed to reclaim the "Model E" trademark. Tesla will no longer try to register the mark. US trademark and patent laws generally defers to previous owner of trademark to reclaim the use if someone else petitions to use it.

ANTAUS Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I saw this as a slam dunk. Wonder what letter will Tesla jump to next. C, E, S, just like Benz, I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoonerLS Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Never seen a Tesla, but, out here in the oil patch, I'm pretty sure we hunt the drivers of electric cars with dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
