  They already have been granted trademark protection for GPT-3[1]. If I had to place a bet one way or the other, I would guess they will get GPT as well. You say it's widely used but even here GPT is mostly synonymous with OpenAI products and services. Even in this thread, plenty of people are complaining about the confusion caused by the name GPT4All.

    The fact that this confusion exists actually argues why they shouldn't be granted it actually as this project exists prior to them receiving it.

      But they didn't trademark GPT which would be the case if your analogy was to work.

      And they didn't because GPT was a term of art in the industry long before it was a gleam in OpenAI's trademarking eyes.

        Do you have a source for that? I thought it came from the 2018 OpenAI paper "Improving Language Understanding by Generative Pre-Training".
