“Spyder” is not registered to Audi in the U.S. For those who would like to search any federally registered trademarks, the USPTO TESS is great.

Spider and Spyder are used by many different manufacturers including GM. This is nonsense.

It is gonna be called a C8 Spyder or C8 Spider. Sound ways better than C8 convertible! lol well we all know chevy ain’t gonna name it that....

Once you think about it and the history of the corvette it will be named:

C8 Convertible


They could also use:

C8 Roadster
C8 Spider
C8 Spyder
C8 Aperta

How a word is spelled has little to no effect on a trademark. In any event, Audi does not have the word SPYDER trademarked - they have the words R8 SPYDER trademarked.

They do own the trademark for “R8 Spyder” which makes a lot more sense.

R8 Spyder only. "NO CLAIM IS MADE TO THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO USE "SPYDER" AS TO THE GOODS IN INTERNATIONAL CLASS 12 AND MODEL CAR AND KIDS PEDAL CARS IN INTERNATIONAL CLASS 28 APART FROM THE MARK AS SHOWN"
