[QUOTE="stevan@aplegal.co, post: 2296257, member: 6487"] Domain names are not trademarks. A trademark is defined as a word, phrase and / or a design specifically associated with goods and / or services. Generic words cannot be trademarks for that which they describe. For instance the word APPLE cannot be trademarked in association with an apple store but can be trademarked in association with the sale of computers. You are trying to protect the word gealth and have found that it gets traffic from people looking for health services. We generally advise our clients to have us do a screening search prior to filing the trademark application to determine if others have registered or applied for a mark on the federal register or used one at common law that is the same or similar to yours for the same or similar products / services. This prevents you from losing all costs associated with filing an application for the mark because someone already has the same or similar mark in the same channels of trade as you. We can do the search and send you a reporting letter outlining any obstacles we see that might prevent registration of the proposed mark and 15 minutes of attorney time for discussing the results for the following costs: $435 (WORD mark in one "channel of trade" or class); $500 (DESIGN mark in one "channel of trade" or class); $675 (COMBINED WORD & DESIGN mark in one "channel of trade" or class). Once the search is complete then we can advise you whether it is reasonable to file a trademark application. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
