What this record means
The record shows that the mark “TESLA” is currently pending under examination on the Principal Register, owned by Tesla, Inc., a corporation organized in Texas. The application, filed on November 20 2024, covers goods such as salt and pepper shakers, drinkware, cups, mugs, travel mugs, water bottles sold empty, bottle openers, and household or kitchen containers. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use on those types of kitchen or beverage containers, as that is the exact scope listed. This record does not give control over every use of the word “TESLA.” The prosecution history indicates the application has been suspended since May 14 2025, with the suspension still in effect as of May 20 2026. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the pending status and suspended examination suggest a meaningful risk of conflict if the goods overlap with those listed.
