However, most of these have met with rejection. It is only Xiaomi's application quadcopter that is approved and accepted. A famous tipster Mukul Sharma has shared some screenshots of the listing, which showcases that the trademark applications have been accepted and approved, the BGR India reported.

However, filing a trademark does not necessarily mean that the company will enter this segment, but it is clear that brands are interested in grabbing the EV market.  As per the screenshot shared on Twitter, OnePlus, OPPO, Vivo, all three companies have applied for electric vehicle patents.

According to the report, Realme recently filed a trademark with the Indian regulator under the “vehicles, apparatus for locomotion by land, air or water.” The company has also filed a trademark in the name of Realme TechLife and TL Devices.

Additionally, this trademark has been registered by the parent company Realme Mobile Telecommunications (Shenzhen) Co Ltd. Also, OnePlus has recently filed a trademark application for an electric vehicle. The company has applied to the ‘OnePlus Life’ brand name, the report further added.

Also, OnePlus is also planning to introduce electric bikes and electric scooters in the market, which will have great looks and features and a good battery range. In 2019, OnePlus released the teaser of its electric supercar dubbed Warp Car. It appears that the parent company of Oppo, Vivo, Realme, and OnePlus, BBK Electronics, is planning to enter the EV segment in India.
