OPENAISerial 87178985 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: OpenAI, Inc.
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Sep 21, 2016
The record shows that the mark “OPENAI” is dead on the Principal Register, owned by OpenAI, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The mark covered computer software for artificial intelligence in class 009, with first use in April 2016. Because the mark is abandoned, it no longer grants exclusive rights, but the history indicates that the owner once claimed protection for that specific type of software. A similar name used in the same or closely related field of artificial‑intelligence software would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. The abandonment was due to a failure to respond to an Office action in August 2017, and no later maintenance or enforcement events appear in the supplied history. The record shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the past claim in AI software still suggests a potential concern if the name is used in that niche.

The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
