According to the U.S. Copyright Office, a word cannot be copyrighted. Copyright does not protect "titles, names, short phrases, and slogans; familiar symbols or designs; mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, or coloring; mere listings of ingredients or contents". A word can be trademarked for commercial use; that is an entirely different process. To search for a US trademark, go to the US Patent and Trademark Office site given below, and click "Trademark".
