## Scope and Search Methodology The analysis focuses exclusively on patents and patent applications in which OpenAI is listed as the applicant, assignee, or inventor affiliate. In particular, the search covers filings under the names “OpenAI”, “OpenAI LP”, “OpenAI Inc.” as well as corporate restructuring entries such as “OpenAI Opco, LLC” and “OpenAi OPCo, LLC.” Searches were performed across multiple authoritative databases with Google Patents serving as the primary source. The review covers assets from the United States (USPTO), the international arena via WIPO (WO) filings, and any cross-references to PCT or European phases. All extracted records date from recent filings (primarily between 2023 and 2025), with emphasis on accuracy of filing dates, publication dates, legal status, and assignee confirmations ([Google Patents - US20250272513A1](https://patents.google.com/patent/US20250272513A1/en), [Google Patents - US20250272128A1](https://patents.google.com/patent/US20250272128A1/en)). ## 1.

Searches under “OpenAI LP” and “OpenAI Inc.” revealed either overlapping or consolidated assets; current holdings are consolidated under “OpenAI Opco, LLC” / “OpenAi OPCo, LLC.”) ## 2. Portfolio Statistics & Legal Status - **Jurisdictions Covered**: - Primary filings are in the **US** (via USPTO) and **WO** (via WIPO). - Some records also display dual coverage (e.g., US and WO) indicating international family expansion. - **Legal Status Overview**: - **Pending Applications**: The majority of assets are marked as pending. - **Granted Patents**: Notably, **US12400074B1**, **US12443803B2**, **US12405822B1**, and **US12346664B1** are officially granted ([Google Patents - US12400074B1](https://patents.google.com/patent/US12400074B1/en), [Google Patents - US12443803B2](https://patents.google.com/patent/US12443803B2/en)). - **Ownership Consistency**: - All assets are consistently attributed to either “OpenAI Opco, LLC” or variants thereof, confirming portfolio consolidation with no separate live holdings under “OpenAI LP” or “OpenAI Inc.” ## 3. Technology Clusters & R&D Focus The patent portfolio is organized around several key technology clusters, reflecting both foundational research and applied solutions: - **Foundational Models/LLMs**: - Patents addressing stateful pretrained transformers and methods for interacting with language models deliver the core underpinning of generative AI technologies. - **Multimodal and Generative Media**: - Technologies include generative video engines, image recaptioning for model training, and systems for synthesizing multi-agent interactions. - **User Interface & Interaction**: - Adaptive UIs for assistant outputs and blending interfaces for visual media indicate significant R&D investments in enhancing user experience. - **Applied AI Tools (Code and API integration)**: - Systems for code generation and API-based virtual assistant configuration underscore efforts to deploy AI in operational settings. - **Privacy and Data Sanitization**: - Filings addressing personally identifiable information scrubbers highlight an attention to data privacy issues. A visual mindmap representation of the technology clusters is provided below: ```mermaid mindmap ["OpenAI Patent Clusters"] ["Foundational Models/LLMs"] ["Stateful Pretrained Transformers"] ["Language Model Interactions"] ["Multimodal & Generative Media"] ["Generative Video & Image Engines"] ["Multi-agent Systems"] ["UI & Interaction"] ["Adaptive UI Designs"] ["Blending User Interfaces"] ["Applied AI Tools"] ["Code Generation Systems"] ["API Integration"] ["Privacy & Data"] ["Personally Identifiable Information Scrubbers"] ``` ## 4. Ownership, Legal Status, & Uncertainties - **Ownership**: - All assets are currently held under “OpenAI Opco, LLC” (or the variant “OpenAi OPCo, LLC”), with no evidence of any asset transfer or assignment to a different entity. - **Assumed Expiry**: - Given the recent filing dates, standard patent terms suggest expiries between **2043–2045** ([Assumed]). - **Litigation and Opposition Status**: - No active cases related to opposition, litigation, or post-grant review are visible in the Google Patents snippets; these assessments are based on the available public data ([Assumed]). - **Ambiguities**: - Dual listing variations (e.g., “OpenAI Opco, LLC” vs. “OpenAi OPCo, LLC”) reflect minor naming inconsistencies but are confirmed to indicate the same corporate entity. ## 5. Strategic Insights - **Portfolio Dynamics**: - The majority of filings have been pursued aggressively from **2023 to 2025**, indicating a concentrated period of R&D and innovation scaling. - **Core Strategic Areas**: - **Core Infrastructure & LLMs**: Emphasis on foundational models and interactive methods suggests efforts to preempt competitors in generative AI. - **Multimodal and Generative Media**: Patents in video and image processing are likely strategic for expanding into new market segments. - **User Experience Enhancements**: Dedicated filings to adaptive interfaces and personalized assistants indicate a focus on improving consumer engagement and usability. - **Defensive & Offensive IP Strategy**: - Broad claims around UI adaptations, personalized interactions, and core generative technologies support both protection against infringement and potential licensing negotiations. ## 6. Database Discrepancies & Cross-Checks - **Data Consistency**: - Cross-checks between USPTO, WIPO, and Google Patents data show high consistency for key filings. - **Entity Verification**: - Although searches under “OpenAI LP” and “OpenAI Inc.” yielded minimal separate results, all active filings are consolidated under “OpenAI Opco, LLC” (including variant spellings). - **Dual Jurisdiction Filings**: - Several entries (e.g., **US20250103962A1**) list both US and WO coverage, affirming a global protection strategy. ## 7.
