Because the trademarks were filed in August 2022, during the 2 year period of time when the teddy.com website featured several different products for sale mimicking an online store, and that it wasn't until November that the website changed into its current form, it is likely that the domain was in Ryan Cohen's possession since at least the beginning of that 2 year period period.
