Re: Trademark Registration
Yes, you can apply for and obtain a registration of a domain name as a trademark or service mark through the U.S. (Patent and) Trademark Office, although domain names are subject to the same rules as other trademarks with respect to descriptiveness, conflicting users, etc.
