It seems the folks at OpenAI were surprised by how popular ChatGPT became. Because they didn't expect it, they didn't do the usual things to protect the "ChatGPT" brand, such as buying the .com domain name.
They also didn't do a very good job of protecting the "CHATGPT" wordmark trademark. Check out all the "live" trademarks there are for "CHATGPT" with the USPTO, and note how most of them don't belong to OpenAI:

Edit: It seems there's no way to link to the search results, but you can do a new search for CHATGPT easily enough.
