Smyrna, GA asked in Trademark for Georgia

Q: How can I research a trademark?

Per USPTO the trademark for Billionheir is owned by a person in Maryland. USPTO also shows that the trademark is dead/abandoned. I am aware that the name could be protected under the (TM). Is there a way to find out if this name is still being used? and if so where can I find this information?

Regards,
