Don't you have to be using it? Or at least plan to in the near future? Or else people would just register trademarks for everything just to squat on them and sell them at a premium later on.

Is that legal? Can someone just make a knockoff even non functional app that is called chatgpt-6. Squat on that until openai buys it from them?

Fair point. Probably you're right. I was mostly thinking about cybersquatters, but that's obviously different.

GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer, which is just a class of ML architecture. That'd be like trying to TM Web Browser.

Well if that's the case they shouldn't be able to TM gpt-#. They should come up with a name for their product
