Our submission number is 77501199
Please understand that our approach to this dispute is not meant to offend you or denigrate any work you have done on your code. Rather, this course of action is necessary because US law requires us to pursue our rights aggressively or risk dilution of our mark (resulting in a loss of our rights to the trademark itself).

Based on the timing of your purchase in January of 2003, we have prior use rights to the mark in 44 US states and in Canada. After we found two other companies infringing on our marks, we registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office so that we could more easily recover our attorneyâs fees from the infringing parties. Our submission number is 77501199, with the effective date of the trademark reverting back to the date of filing.
It most assuredly is not, and there is no current record of a pending application for "HIRE SECURITY" at the USPTO.

I'd recommend against registering it, because this idiot would definitely have a proprietary right in that one.
