What this record means
The record shows that the mark “OPENAI” is currently pending on the Principal Register, owned by OPENAI FOUNDATION, a Delaware corporation. The application, filed January 26 2022, covers downloadable computer programs and software that use artificial intelligence for natural language processing, generation, understanding, analysis, machine learning, image recognition, music generation, and related algorithm development, as well as services such as research, development, and software‑as‑a‑service in the same AI field. A similar name would raise the closest concern in these AI‑software and AI‑service areas, while use in unrelated industries would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “OPENAI.” The latest status event is a suspension inquiry issued May 29 2026, to which the applicant must respond. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the pending status and active AI‑software and AI‑service classes suggest a meaningful risk of conflict in those areas.
