Abstract: A system to correlate trademark data to Internet domain name data includes a user system having a user interface. A host system is in communication with the user system. The host system executes a software application adapted to receive a name of a trademark owner. The software application creates a search string including at least the name of the trademark owner, and searches for trademarks owned by and assigned to the trademark owner based on the search string. The software application generates a trademark list including the located trademarks owned by and assigned to the trademark owner. The software application generates domain names corresponding to the trademark list, and identifies whether the domain names generated are available for registration.
