This claim is probably slam dunk, but I am more interested in the pending TM application for "GPT" filed by OpenAI.

It seems like it would cover most, if not all, AI related use cases.
They have a first used date of 2018.

GPT Trademark of OpenAI, L.P. - Serial Number 97733259 - Alter

Generative pre-trained transformer - Wikipedia

"Generative pre-trained transformers (GPT) are a family of language models developed by OpenAI"

Is "GPT" only an AI related term because OpenAI created it or did it exist before their usage?

If the term was used generically for AI, before OpenAI, can someone provide a citation?

If OpenAI created it for that usage, I don't see why the TM would be rejected.

If the term is only an AI related term because OpenAI created it, then they have a pretty good case to be able to protect it, if they choose to.

I would be hesitant to spend much money on or build an AI related business on a "GPT" domain with that level of uncertainty.

Looks like OpenAI did create the name and model. Everything I see seems to point to that conclusion anyway, especially this below:

"The original paper on generative pre-training (GPT) of a language model was written by Alec Radford and his colleagues, and published in preprint on OpenAI's website on June 11, 2018.[92] It showed how a generative model of language is able to acquire world knowledge and process long-range dependencies by pre-training on a diverse corpus with long stretches of contiguous text." OpenAI - Wikipedia
The original paper can be found at this link below although they're still not yet using the GPT acronym at that point:

Seems like they'd have a strong case, but I suppose it's possible to argue it's still too generic. And there are many other new companies with GPT in their name so this case "could" create problems for them too... should OpenAI win.
