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.

- criddell 4y agoDo you have a source for that? I thought it came from the 2018 OpenAI paper "Improving Language Understanding by Generative Pre-Training".
