Well I recently received a C & D letter from a "Church organization" here in Toronto, Canada. The name in question is a .ca name with the trademarked name as part of my .ca name.
Their lawyer request that I:
1: cease and desist use of *****************.ca, as a trademark, tradename, part of a domain name address, or otherwise, forthwith;
2: provide us with an undertaking in writing that you will sease and desist from use of the mark *******************.ca, or any other marks that are confusingly similar to our clients' tradename and trade mark;
3: provide us with an indication of the extent of your use, so that our clients can access their damages; and
4: transfer the domain name ****************.ca to our clients.
I realize that the legal thing for me to do is to take down the parked page (which is currently there) and hand over the name. But I have nothing to lose. I have nothing in my name (well maybe my bed).
So what should I do? Should I fight it ( however, I do not want to spend a penny on this) or just hand it over without a fight?
Thanks all.
