Abstract

When a request having a keyword is received, a domain name having the keyword can be generated and a network resource corresponding to the domain name can be requested wherein the network resource is adapted to extract the keyword from the domain name. In turn, when a request having a first domain name is received, a second domain name having the first domain name can be generated and a network resource corresponding to the second domain name can be requested wherein the network resource is adapted to extract the first domain name from the second domain name.

Claims

1. A method for presenting search results, the method comprising:

receiving one or more identifiers;

generating a search engine request to search database content from the one or more identifiers;

retrieving at least one search result in accordance with the search engine request; and

determining from one or more databases whether the one or more identifiers is available for registration as one of a navigation keyword, trademark, phone number, search engine ranking, and advertising placement either one of a before, during, and after presenting the at least one search result from the database content search.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said one or more databases comprises at least one of a keyword registry, trademark database, phone number database, search engine ranking database, and keyword advertising database.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising presenting at least one registration form for at least one of the one or more identifiers that are determined available for registration and presenting registration information for at least one of the one or more identifiers that are determined not available for registration.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more identifiers comprises at least one of a keyword, domain name, fictitious domain name, and phone number.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising determining whether each identifier not available for registration can be back-ordered as one of a navigation keyword, trademark, telephone number, search engine ranking, and advertising placement.

6. A method for presenting search results, the method comprising:

performing a search engine request to search a search engine database content based on input;

accessing from a search engine database having one or more data records corresponding to said content in accordance with said search engine request, wherein said one or more data records includes a resource identifier corresponding to a measure of intellectual property related usage;

obtaining the search results from said search engine request wherein at least one search result comprises said resource identifier corresponding to said measure of intellectual property related usage;

ordering the search results based on said measure of intellectual property related usage; and

,

presenting said ordered search results.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising calculating the measure of intellectual property related usage.

8. The method of claim 6, further comprising storing the measure of intellectual property related usage in the search engine database.

9. A method for presenting search results, the method comprising:

performing a search engine request to search content based on input;

accessing from a search engine database having one or more data records corresponding to the content in accordance with the search engine request, wherein the one or more data records comprise a resource identifier corresponding to at least one authentication identifier;

defining the search results based on the search engine request wherein at least one defined search result comprises the resource identifier corresponding to the at least one authentication identifier; and

,

outputting the search results comprising at least the resource identifier corresponding to the at least one authentication identifier.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the at least one authentication identifier comprises at least one of a digital certificate, digital signature, and public key.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the resource identifier is operated by a provider, further comprising securely communicating with the provider via the at least one authentication identifier.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the provider comprises a property owner of an intellectual property right having an intellectual property identifier corresponding to the resource identifier.
