OpenAI's attempt to trademark "GPT" was denied
OpenAI's application for trademarking "GPT" has been denied by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
The decision comes after an initial refusal due to the potential confusion with an existing trademark for "GPB", a financial services firm.
OpenAI argued that "GPT" is distinctive due to its widespread use and recognition in the AI community.
However, the Patent Office concluded that the similarity between "GPT" and "GPB" could lead to confusion among consumers.
OpenAI can still appeal this decision or choose to pursue other avenues to protect its intellectual property.
