I have NO idea what she is talking about To whom it may concern: This is to inform you that a website you manage, sms-thailand.com, has come to the attention of Rosetta Stone Ltd. ("Rosetta Stone"). Rosetta Stone's automated monitoring software continually monitors, collects and stores instances of unauthorized use, sales or other violations of Rosetta Stone's intellectual property rights on the Internet.

Do you own that site? Do you have anything in your advertising and sales copy that mentions Rosetta Stone? If not, I'd email them back and ask them to point to specific instances of their mark being used and you will be happy to remove them. Just my $.02...

It says "employed an advertising or sales campaign" implying an Adwords or other campaign that included the words Rosette Stone. Rosetta Stone is suing another company for running Adwords on keywords "Rosetta Stone". http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2008/07/07...search-results-rosetta-stone-sues-competitor/
I never heard of Rosetta Stone i never used them i have no idea what it is. I just think it is a trick to make people visit their website or something or?
"our automated monitoring software continually monitors, collects and stores instances of unauthorized use" They give you no specifics on the infringement so I think more likely it's just a stupid bot and they are sending out hundreds of these emails. In any case they are not threatening or making demands. I'd ignore them. Maybe it's just a ploy for their lawsuit against Rocket Languages so they can claim that they take trademark infringement very seriously and have sent out xxx emails this year.
It's possible it's just a spam bot trying to scam you. Are you doing anything that could even be remotely considered to infringe on their trademark? If not you have nothing to worry about.
Rosetta Stone is a pretty big company, well known for courses to learn a foreign language. I don't think they're trying to trick anyone into visiting their website
No never used their trademark, you can check the site yourself if you see anything that would make them angry let me know ok SMS to Thailand
I'd be curious to know how that lawsuit turns out. I use the name of competitors in my adwords campaign too
