Either search extensively in google or any trademark database, or just wait for
someone to either send you a C&D letter, a UDRP notice, a court notice, or a
threatening call. Take your pick.

if yes what is the extent of these problem?

For one thing, if you lose any UDRP, you can expect to maybe win some but
maybe lose more UDRP domain disputes. For another, if the country you're in
has a trademark protection law of sorts (especially anti-cybersquatting), you
can be fined a hefty fee...or worse.

give up the domain name? or more than that?

Giving up the domain name can be a good idea, depends on your intent in the
first place.

Thanks for your input

You're welcome. Just stay out of potential cybersquatting or the sort, ok?

Thanks a lot davezan, and I realy wish if you can reply to me one more time.

In fact I'm willing to giveup the domain name, but the problem is that yahoo won't release the registry key before 60 days. Without the registry key, I can't release the name. The domain name has never been active and I'll leave it dormant but that won't guarantee tat the owner of the original domain name won't start any trouble. I do not think that the owner of the riginal name has a trademark for the name but, Are you saying that I can't register for example wwwlmicrosoft.com (because microsoft is a trademark) but I can register wwwlauto.com because (auto is not a trademark even though auto.com is big site that belong to big corporation .. Am I right?

What do you think I should do?

Sure, whatever makes you happy.

I don't know Yahoo's domain name policies. But are you saying Yahoo won't
let you delete the domain name without that so-called registry key?

As far as I know, you only need the registry key (or what might be also called
the auth code) if you're transferring a org/info/biz domain to another registrar.
You might want to clarify that with Yahoo.

The domain name has never been active and I'll leave it dormant but that won't guarantee tat the owner of the original domain name won't start any trouble.

Got that right. But at least try to cover your tracks.

I do not think that the owner of the riginal name has a trademark for the name but, Are you saying that I can't register for example wwwlmicrosoft.com (because microsoft is a trademark) but I can register wwwlauto.com because (auto is not a trademark even though auto.com is big site that belong to big corporation ..

The complaining party doesn't actually need a registered trademark if they are
able to prove common law rights.

It's one thing to register any domain name, it's another if the one complaining
believes you're infringing on their rights, especially their trademark/s. But they
have to prove they have rights to the name.

Any word can actually be registered. But how it'll be registered as a trademark
depends on what the trademark office says and what the applicant wants it
for.

What do you think I should do?

Perhaps you should ask yourself "Why did I get the domain name in the first
place?".
