so I would say it's pretty obvious he was trying to steal the copyright from Sony

Trademark, not copyright. It's a very important distinction.

brb going to trademark geforce rtx 4080

It’s probably already been done.  Amazon was called Amazon simply because they were looking for a name, any name, that hadn’t been trademarked.  They failed anyway.  There was a tiny bookstore in minneapolis called Amazon books that had been around since well befor Amazon was founded.  They wound up buying it for a princely sum when the owner retired.  Owner probably could have asked for a lot more, but she didnt.  I don’t think that will happen here.  The impression I got was the person who trademarked PS5 did it specifically to catch Sony with.  He apparently trademarked a whole bunch of similar terms too hoping to catch them.
