Subaru Files 12 Trademarks For Off-Road-Y Names
Subaru has filed a total of 12 trademark applications for various names with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for use with “automobiles and structural parts and fittings therefor.” Without more information, it's tough to say what the 12 names could be for. More than likely, Subaru filed such a large number of trademarks to cover some legal ground, protecting a dozen potential names for unknown items from use by others- just in case it decides to use its trademark for “ Uncharted” as it relates to Subaru’s vehicles.
Other names found by AutoGuide include Trailseeker, Viewfinder, Trailwind, Trailhead, Outsider, Hightrail, Getaway, Highrood, Everpass, Everguide, and Accomplice. Almost all have some sort of off-road-adventure-y angle to them, and given the successes of Subaru’s Wilderness brand, it isn’t hard to see more off-road and adventure-oriented trims popping up. Subaru hasn’t brought the Wilderness take to its Solterra EV or its sportier models, the BRZ and the WRX, after all.
