The Nikola Motor Company trademark appears to be owned by a company called: BLUEGENTECH, LLC. (https://trademarks.justia.com/866/17/nikola-86617159.html https://trademarks.justia.com/866/17/nikola-86617159.html) The Nevada corporate filing for Bluegentech, LLC: http://nvsos.gov/SOSEntitySearch/CorpDetails.aspx?lx8nvq=EAFcQmQEZdiE%252bEQ1x3mo1w%253d%253d http://nvsos.gov/SOSEntitySearch/CorpDetails.aspx?lx8nvq=EAF... And is apparently run by a guy named Troy A Wallin. I hate it when companies put up a web site and then don't say the least bit about who manages the company or is involved in it in some way. Does make things look less than honest. EDIT: I also found in an article the name of the CEO, and here is his LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/theofficialtrevormilton https://www.linkedin.com/in/theofficialtrevormilton ... Not sure if there actually is a direct relationship to Bluegentech, LLC... the Nikola Motor Company from the article is described as being Salt Lake City, Utah based. Bluegentech, LLC is registered as a foreign company in Utah. (And, yes, I am just avoiding real work this morning.) 2nd EDIT: Ok there is a relationship.... another Nevada corporate filing (DHYBRID, INC.) links Troy A Wallin to Trevor Milton: http://nvsos.gov/SOSEntitySearch/CorpDetails.aspx?lx8nvq=QQdt4kj8k9WCHG3LA56B8w%253d%253d http://nvsos.gov/SOSEntitySearch/CorpDetails.aspx?lx8nvq=QQd... (Ah the joy of public filings) Final EDIT: It's interesting. Going back to the original idea that the company had a fly-by-night feel. I now know that the people involved have some actual experience in their industry (at least generally). My perception of them, while still very limited, is somewhat better. I can't help but thinking that being a little more upfront about the principals would improve their first impressions... despite the name ;-)
