Why don't you check?

USPTO, google, take your pick.

i don think it is a TM either, the USPTO DB shows 2 dead applications. But an intersitng fact, asseenontv.com sold for 5,000,000... the good old days

the USPTO DB shows 2 dead applications.

It shows a lot more than that. However, nearly every relevant filing includes an express disclaimer of "AS SEEN ON TV".

It does not infringe on TM if you do not sell little rinky dinky stuff for 3 easy payments of $19.95 on your site...LMAO. But the name is a trademark though....its how you use the name that will tell if you get sued or not. Good Luck

So... are you saying he is or os not infinging on the TM? You say its a trademark, so anyone registering a domain with that name is in essence infinging. But usage is an important factor whether the infringment is deemed illegal.
