USPTO denies OpenAI’s ‘GPT’ trademark request, citing descriptive nature


The USPTO has ruled against OpenAI's "GPT" trademark request, stating the term is too descriptive of generative transformer technology.

This decision marks a significant challenge for OpenAI, the entity behind the widely recognized ChatGPT, as it seeks to secure proprietary rights over the term associated with its conversational AI models. As a result, the market may see an influx of products and services adopting the GPT moniker without any direct connection to OpenAI, such as various “TalkGPT” applications already present in app stores. By continuing to lead in the development and innovation of generative pre-trained transformer models, OpenAI can maintain the linkage between “GPT” and its groundbreaking work in AI.
