Musk's The Boring Company accused of trademark infringement

By Ferraiuoli LLC - 27/01/2021

A Nevada drilling company has sued Elon Musk’s The Boring Company for trademark infringement. In its lawsuit, the company stated that it was founded in 2006 and since that year it has registered the trademark Boring Company to provide drilling services, trenching, concrete coring and other works in the Las Vegas region.

“The alleged trademark infringement has led to consumer confusion, affecting the company’s Facebook page and online presence, and has resulted in a barrage of phone calls from people looking for the defendant’s company, which has, in turn, cost the plaintiff countless hours of lost revenue,” the lawsuit states.

The Boring Company (also known as TBC) is an American infrastructure and tunnel construction services company founded by Musk in 2016. Its current and proposed projects are designed for loop intra-city transit systems.
