Confirmed: OnePlus is facing trademark issues with the name ‘Dash Charge’
No change in the underlying technology
One of the main selling points of OnePlus’ phones is their Dash Charge function but it seems that the company will no longer be selling components under that trademark.
As per a statement issued by the company, their European Union’s (EU) trademark application was rejected earlier this year in March. Apparently, it's because Bragi and Amazon have similar trademarks in the EU.
Their statement also assures consumers that there are no changes in the technology that goes into making the OnePlus’ charging function efficient. The OnePlus 6 comes with the same charging technology like in previous OnePlus smartphones that were Dash Charge enabled.
The charging capabilities of a phone has transformed into one of the more important features when choosing which smartphone to purchase. Which is precisely what contributed towards the popularity of the OnePlus’ Dash Charge function. It's reportedly the fastest smartphone charging standard in the market right now.
