OpenAI 的商标申请之路遭遇挫折。美国专利商标局 (PTO) 近日驳回了 OpenAI 将 “GPT” 注册为商标的请求。PTO 认为 GPT 是一个过于笼统的术语，指的是生成式预训练转换器，这可能会阻止其他竞争对手将其产品描述为 GPT。尽管消费者可能不清楚 GPT 的具体含义，但那些从事相关技术的人都知道 GPT 是一种通用类型的软件，而不仅仅是 OpenAI 的产品。
这一决定对于 OpenAI 来说无疑是一个打击。GPT 是 OpenAI 的一种重要技术，应用于其多个产品中，如 GPT-3 等。此次商标申请被拒，可能会导致 OpenAI 在未来的市场竞争中面临更大的压力。
对于 PTO 的决定，OpenAI 可以选择上诉或者修改商标申请。不过，无论结果如何，此次事件都引发了关于人工智能技术通用术语的讨论。GPT 作为一种技术术语，其广泛的应用和认可使其成为了一个重要的行业标准。然而，作为商标，其独特性和辨识度则相对较弱。这也是 PTO 拒绝 OpenAI 商标申请的主要原因。
In a recent decision, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has rejected OpenAI’s trademark application for “GPT.” The USPTO considers GPT to be a overly broad term, referring to Generative Pre-trained Transformer, which might prevent competitors from describing their products as GPT. Although consumers may not be aware of the exact meaning of GPT, those involved in the related technology know that it represents a general type of software, not just an OpenAI product.
This decision is undoubtedly a blow to OpenAI. GPT is an important technology used in many of OpenAI’s products, such as GPT-3. The rejection of this trademark application may lead to greater pressure on OpenAI in future market competition.
In response to the USPTO’s decision, OpenAI may choose to appeal or modify the trademark application. However, this event has sparked a discussion about the generic terms of artificial intelligence technologies. As a technical term, GPT has widespread application and recognition, becoming an important industry standard. However, as a trademark, it has relatively weak uniqueness and recognition. This is also the main reason for the USPTO’s rejection of OpenAI’s trademark application.
