Elon Musk’s Neuralink Files to Trademark ‘Telepathy’

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,El.kz cites wired.com.

Neuralink, which Musk cofounded in 2016, is developing technology known as a brain-computer interface, a system that decodes brain activity to control an output device.

Musk has said that the company’s first product will be called Telepathy and will allow people with paralysis the ability to control a computer or phone just by thinking. But the Neuralink trademark application suggests that the company has ambitions of its technology enabling telepathic communication not just with electronic devices, but between human beings.

Neuralink’s interface involves a brain implant that collects neural signals and software that translates those signals into cursor movements on a computer screen.
