Selecting either option will browse to the web page for the domain name using your default web

browser. If a web site has not been set up for the domain name then your browser may display an

error message that it could not find the requested web page. This is a normal response, as some

people register domain names for use at a later date.

Trademark Searching

US, UK, Canadian and EU trademark searches are available for domain names shown in the

results table. Simply right click the domain name and select the appropriate trademark search

option from the popup menu. The trademark search is performed online via trademark search web

sites.

Two searches are available:

String search. The entire domain name is searched as a single string/word. eg.

"maximumspeed". This is available in the 

direct

, 

simple words

, 

word terms

, 

advanced

 and

pattern

 search results.

Word search. The words that make up the domain name are used individually in the

search. eg. "maximum speed". This is available in the 

simple words

, 

word terms

 and

advanced

 search results only as only these searches know the separate words in the

domain name.

Some trademark search services may treat both search types in the same manner. i.e.

"maximumspeed" and "maximum speed" may return the same trademark search results.

Note:

 The results of these trademark searches are indicative only and should not be relied upon as

the true trademark status. Consult a professional trademark search agency to perform a thorough

search to confirm the trademark status.
