OpenAI acquires domain ChatGPT.com by settling with the owner

Sep 13, 2023 - aibeat.co
OpenAI has acquired the domain name ChatGPT.com following a settlement with the owner, Rick Latona. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed. Prior to the acquisition, the domain hosted a blog with AI and technology articles and was dominated by ads for an AI chatbot aggregator, ChatAI. The website, which received between 1.5 million and 2.6 million visits per month, now redirects to OpenAI's AI chatbot, ChatGPT.

The acquisition follows a UDRP complaint filed by OpenAI against ChatGPT.com with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) earlier in the year. ChatGPT, launched in the previous year, has quickly grown to 100 million users and receives 1.4 billion visits every month. The visits to ChatGPT.com will now be included in OpenAI's numbers.
