Musk Secures Court Injunction to Block Startup from Using "Twitter" Name
07 Sep. 05:05Following a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk's X Corp., a Delaware federal court has issued a temporary injunction prohibiting the startup Operation Bluebird from using the name "Twitter" and associated trademarks. According to Reuters, the judge ruled that using the trademarked name would cause consumer confusion and violate intellectual property rights, rejecting arguments that X had abandoned the brand after its 2022 rebrand.
However, the judge denied X Corp.'s request to block the use of the iconic blue bird logo and the word "tweet," citing Musk's past public statements that the company was bidding farewell to all birds. While Operation Bluebird attempted to cancel X's federal trademarks to launch a competing platform, X Corp. successfully argued that the "Twitter" brand remains active and legally protected.

On-the-Go Power: Japanese Engineers Develop Wireless In-Road Charging for Electric Vehicles
10 Oct. 08:10In a major leap for electric mobility, Honda R&D, alongside Taisei Corporation and Taisei Rotec, has unveiled an innovative dynamic wireless charging system that charges electric vehicles as they drive. By embedding compact energy-transmitting modules directly into the road surface, the system transfers power via a magnetic field to receivers mounted underneath moving vehicles. Designed to withstand heavy commercial transport up to 20 tons, real-world road testing is scheduled to begin in Japan in April 2027.
The technology eliminates the need for full road reconstruction, as modules can be integrated directly into milled asphalt layers. Aimed at boosting charging power up to 150 kW in future iterations, this infrastructure solution promise to significantly reduce grid pressure on traditional charging stations, particularly for logistics and commercial fleets.
