I have a friend who received a letter from a prominent NY atty firm stating that the domain name being used was against the law because it violated trademark registrations. This letter went on to say that the firm wanted the domain name transferred to the person owning the trademark, an accounting of all revenue earned through the use of the domain and oh, by the way... should this person ever decide to sue you, we reserve that right too. Luckily, the firm didn't actually know who to contact because the domain name contained privacy protection. Anyway... an e-mail was sent to the firm stating that there was no malice intended and the use of the domain name has been terminated. That was on Tuesday. There has not been a response from the firm yet. Anyone have any similar situations?? Thoughts on next steps?? Thanks so much
There is nothing you can do but wait to see if they take action. Privacy Protection won't help you if they want to sue you as they will just get a court order to force release contact, IP, CC, email information, etc.
