A: You can look up a trademark owner's contact information at tsdr.uspto.gov. You can then contact the trademark owner, and make your offer. You may want to seek business and legal advice to make sure you offer an appropriate price, and to make sure the trademark is assigned to you properly after you end up striking a deal.

A: You should contact the owner of the trademark and inquire whether it is for sale. The owner can either transfer/assign the trademark to you or you may come up with a mutually beneficial agreement where the trademark may be licensed to you.
