The court documents, reported by Reuters, reveal that despite being warned with a cease-and-desist notice in April 2022, the Indian company continued to promote its products under the name “Tesla Power.”

During the court proceedings, Tesla Power India Pvt Ltd clarified that they mainly focus on making lead acid batteries and have no intentions of entering the electric vehicle market.

The court granted the Indian company three weeks to respond in writing after they submitted documents to support their defense.

The next court hearing for the trademark case involving Tesla India is set for May 22.
