How Do You Know A Name is Trademarked


Hi guys,
I would like to enter into the domain name parking business using typos.

I have a number of questions

1. How do you know a name is trademerked

2. Is typo traffic the equivalent of cybersquatting. Some say it is. Is it?

I am eagerly awaiting your interesting answers

To answer your questions:
1) Go to uspto.gov. Also note that TM's are respective to countries. A particular wordmark may not be TM'ed in the US, but it may be in the UK or elsewhere.
2) Yes, assuming the domain/wordmark is TM'ed.
