USPTO denies ChatGPT and GPT trademark right to OpenAI
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, in separate decisions issued in early February, denied OpenAI’s applications to trademark “ChatGPT” and “GPT.”OpenAI has the option to appeal the decisions to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board within three months. But if the rulings stand, they will prevent the company from defending its exclusive use of the phrases, opening them up to widespread adoption as common terms across the industry.
Taylor Swift’s management group, TAS Rights Management LLC, filed an application for “TAYLOR-CON” with the United States Patent and Trademark Office Saturday to trademark the term.
