Overview

• Elon Musk's Tesla has filed a lawsuit in New Delhi, demanding a halt on the use of its trademark by the Indian company 'Tesla Power'.
• The dispute arose after Tesla Power India continued to use the Tesla name despite a cease-and-desist notice issued in April 2022.
• Tesla Power India, primarily a lead acid battery maker, asserts it has no plans to enter the electric vehicle market.
• The legal contention surfaces amidst Musk's broader international engagements, including a recent strategic visit to China.
• A Delhi High Court judge has deferred the case, giving Tesla Power India three weeks to respond officially.
