What this record means
The record shows a live, pending application for the mark “TESLA” owned by Tesla, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and it is being examined on the Principal Register. The only listed goods are “Book bags; school bags; backpacks” in International Class 018, so a similar name used on those types of bags would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses on unrelated products or services fall farther from the scope shown. The record does not give Tesla, Inc. control over every use of the word “TESLA” in any context. The prosecution history reflects a series of suspension checks, the most recent on May 18 2026, which confirms the application remains suspended and has not progressed to registration. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a bag‑related brand using the same name.
