Tesla Power India’s proprietor appeared before the Court and gave an undertaking that they have no intention to manufacture electric vehicles at all and they will not market other entities’ electric vehicles under the trademark or tradename ‘TESLA POWER USA’ or any other brand deceptively similar to the word ‘TESLA’.
“He further states that they will not issue any promotional advertisements or material in relation to EV vehicles under their brand name/tradename. He further undertakes that defendants shall not use the registered device/logos of ‘TESLA’. The said undertaking is taken on record and the defendants will be bound by it,” the Court noted.
The Bench then issued summons and notice to Tesla Power India and its proprietors and asked them to file their replies in three week.
It said that the matter will be heard next on May 22.
“Counsel for defendants wishes to file a response and has handed up a set of documents in support of their defence. The same may be filed before the Court, as part of their reply to this application, with copy to the opposing counsel, within a period of 3 weeks from today. Rejoinder, if any, be filed thereafter before the next date. List on 22nd May, 2024,” the Court ordered.
