Default Copyrighted business & domain names

Hi guys,
What's the best resource to check copyrighted business and domain names.
Cro.ie only checks on Irish businesses as far as I can tell.

Cheers.

Do you mean "trademarked"?

If so I'd check the trademark office

Registering copyright is an American "thing"

Yea, you cannot copyright a business.

For US TM searches, try: Trademarks

I am slap bang in the middle of a TM registration process and it's a pain in the arse. Irish, European, American, cobmos etc.

Once you have an Irish trademark you can get cover elsewhere via the Madrid agreements without having to register the TM in all the regions ...

There are one or two member states no included in this agreement I believe and also, this does not include registration in the US.

Just to be clear, the Irish one covers you for most of the agreeing countries?
So does trademarking under the Madrid agreement offer the most complete coverage available?

Yeah sorry, I meant trademark.

I have visited the patentsoffice.ie and OAMI-ONLINE ('+languages[CurrentLang].toUpperCase()+') in the hope of finding the info I require but each time I search the sites are saying that no results can be found. It's probably my error but the search on both of those sites aren't the best.

Sorry for this invasion of the thread but i have a similiar question. As you'll know from experiance and just basic web browsing most websites have a notice at the bottom like:

Copyright© CRAPDESIGN.LTD 2007 All Rights Reserved

My question is if I register a trademark with the Irish trademarks office can I legally put such a notice on my companies website?

The point is that you DON'T NEED TO register a trademark to use the copyright notice legally. You can use it legally the second you created the content and/or design.
