Elon Musk’s Neuralink Files to Trademark ‘Telepathy’
1 min read
Summary
Elon Musk’s company Neuralink, which develops brain-computer interfaces, has applied to patent the names Telepathy, Telekinesis and others in the US.
The first product from the company, Telepathy, is intended to allow paralysed people to control phones or computers just by thinking.
The trademark filings suggest that Neuralink’s technology may eventually allow telepathic communication between humans.
The applications also include Telekinesis, which relates to the company’s plans to develop brain implants to control robotic limbs and other devices.
The purported psychic ability relates to the company’s Robot Arm Project, first revealed in November 2024.
Also included in the filings are the terms Link, N1 and R1, which are already in use within the company to refer to its brain-computer interface system and related products.
Neuralink has not yet released any products for sale, and the applications may be to ensure the company can continue to use the terms if its products take several years to come to market.
