Elon Musk’s Neuralink Files to Trademark ‘Telepathy’


The brain implant company cofounded by Elon Musk is moving to trademark several product names, including Telepathy and Telekinesis.

Elon Musk’s brain implant company Neuralink has filed applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to exclusively own the names Telepathy, Telekinesis, and others for future products. Neuralink, which Musk cofounded in 2016, is developing a type of technology known as a brain-computer interface, a system that decodes brain activity to control an output device. Telekinesis is the purported psychic ability to move objects without physical interaction, and the trademark filing could refer to a future product to control robotic limbs and other devices.
