OpenAI, known for its powerful GPT-3 and GPT-4 language models, tried to trademark the term “GPT” (Generative Pre-trained Transformer). The agency rejected the application, arguing that “GPT” was too general and could unfairly prevent competitors from disclosing their own similar technologies.
The company argues that “GPT” is not a widely used term and does not immediately inform consumers about specific products. The Ministry noted that AI experts understand “GPT” as a general type of technology that is not solely related to OpenAI. This is the second time the office has rejected OpenAI’s application for the “GPT” trademark.
The increasing use of “GPT” by other AI companies such as GPTZero further undermines OpenAI’s claims.
