    Re: trade mark issue

    depends on the circumstances.

    If you register and use cardmaster.com to promote credit cards you may run into problems with the holder of the master card trademark. If you use it to promote a contraption for poker card dealing you're less likely to piss them off.
    always buying domains with type-in traffic. all tlds.

    It depends on usage (and intent). If you intend to profit because of the TM name, then if challenged, you would probably lose. Like Sono said, if you use it in a totaly unrelated manner, it increases your chances of beating the challenge. Now if the words were unique in nature, that would be tougher to justify.
