OpenAI Files Opposition Against Financial and Tech GPT Trademark Applications
Sep/06/2024
On September 4, OpenAI filed a series of oppositions against trademark applications from Bloomberg Finance L.P., S&P Global Inc., and Shenzhen Menglong E-Commerce Co., Ltd. Bloomberg's "BLOOMBERGGPT" targets software for financial language models and speech processing in the finance sector, while S&P Global's "S&P GLOBAL REGGPT" focuses on artificial intelligence tools for regulatory compliance and business services. Both applications include downloadable and online non-downloadable AI software for natural language processing and machine-learning solutions. Shenzhen's "POWERGPT" application covers a range of battery chargers for devices such as mobile phones, laptops, and electric shavers but also extends to automotive accessories such as handlebars, rearview mirrors, ashtrays, and tires, as well as cup holders and license plate frames for vehicles. OpenAI's actions aim to protect its intellectual property and safeguard the "GPT" brand in the AI and technology sectors. The visualisation below provides detailed information about the opposed trademarks, highlighting the scope of each application.
