OPENAI

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “OPENAI” was registered on the Principal Register in 2014 for services in the financial information and securities processing field, but it was cancelled in August 2020 because the owner, Citigroup Inc., did not file a required declaration. The goods and services listed are financial information services provided online, investment data, securities trading and settlement, and related administration services. A similar name used in those exact or closely related financial services would raise the closest concern. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the word “OPENAI”; it is limited to the specific financial services described. The prosecution history shows a normal sequence of examination, allowance, and statement‑of‑use filings, with no indication of a Supplemental Register. The latest event is the cancellation in 2020, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific financial services area still presents a notable concern.
