That's also not the way trademarks work. To violate Tesla's trademark they need compete in the battery market. Trademarks don't get you rights to every market

Trademarks don't get you rights to every market that utilizes the type of item you sell.
- cwkoss 9y agoYou're right. But, they don't need to be technically in violation for a lawsuit to still put them out of business. A dash of legal ambiguity is often enough for a deep-pocketed company to cause a lot of pain, regardless of the letter of the law.
- ars 9y ago> they need compete in the battery market There is no battery trademark category. Only electronics, which covers both batteries and this suit. So yes, they do need to change their name.
