Yes you can! But you can only copyright domain not domain name. So you can not copyright yourproposednowdomain.com, but you can copyright yourproposednowdomain. You'll get .com .net .org Automatically. For example your business has/filled for trade mark abracadabra1d4 then you have rights for abracadabra1d4.com abracadabra1d4.net abracadabra1d4.org I know that it relates to gTLD. Not sure about ccTLD. Even if some one registered abracadabra1d4.com 5 years ago, and then your business got TM 2 month ago the you can sue anyone/any company/any etc how owns .com .net .org for the standard $50,000 + $50,000 + $5,000. I am not sure if you are required to give them notice of tm violation.
