You don't have to have it registered, and it is a pain updating since they charge you each time you want to edit the trademark database info. What I usually do is print the webpage of the un-developed website or parking page as proof.
As far as making an offer to the owner, he has it over 10 years...I would make an offer but I can't afford it right now since I did purchase a couple from domainers recently and going to Hawaii on vacation soon. I should be more worried about making money by using the ton I have 1st, but domains are addictive. I also have a lot of .net domains, but .com will always have more value.
