The 5-minute trademark screen
Before you backorder or buy, a quick clearance pass:
— USPTO TESS / WIPO search: check the exact term for live marks in relevant classes.
— Plain Google: an active company already using the name is a red flag even without a registered mark.
— The 'famous mark' rule: registering 'nikeshoes.com' to flip isn't a flip, it's a UDRP loss waiting to happen.
📌 Pick of the day: descriptive/generic terms are safest to trade; coined names matching a real brand are liabilities.
Why it matters: a name lost to a UDRP or URS costs the acquisition plus the dispute headache. Source: USPTO TESS, WIPO database.
