    Was curious to know, if you register a mispelling of a TMed name, could that be considered a TM infringement?

    It depends upon the company. Yahoo had taken down few typo domains by suing them, however most companies do not bother to run after 100's of typo domain owners

    Phonic Similarities is what they go by as far as TM law. Just depends on the overall brand.. my guess a Nike or a Google will chase ya down. Then again look at myspace .. they were stopped by a simple footer text..lol
