Delhi High Court grants interim injunction to Tesla, bars Indian firm from using ‘Tesla Power’ trademark

The Delhi High Court has issued an interim injunction in favour of US-based Tesla Inc., ordering Indian firm Tesla Power India to stop using the trademarks ‘Tesla Power’ or ‘Tesla Power USA’ in any capacity, including for the manufacture of electric vehicles.

While granting the injunction, the court took note of a statement from the defendants—Tesla Power India—that they did not intend to manufacture electric vehicles and would refrain from marketing EVs of other companies under the marks ‘Tesla Power’, ‘Tesla Power USA’ or any deceptively similar brand, and would not use the word ‘Tesla’ until the suit is finally decided.
