What this record means
The record shows that the mark “CHATGPT” is currently pending under examination on the Principal Register, owned by OpenAI OpCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The application was filed on May 9 2023 and the latest status update is March 9 2026. The goods and services listed are downloadable computer programs and software for artificial speech, text generation, natural language processing, machine‑learning language and speech processing, chatbot simulation, and text creation, as well as online non‑downloadable software and research and development services in artificial intelligence technology. A similar name would raise the closest concern in these areas of software and AI services. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “chat” or “GPT” in unrelated contexts. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a comparable name, the record suggests a meaningful risk in the AI software and services space.
