OPENAI

What this record means

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.
