I hope this is in the right section.
I opened a business in 1999 and secured then purchased a domain name for the business. I ran the business until 2008 when it was temporarily closed since one of the partners moved out of state. The website has been active, but content was removed.
In 2006 another company opened for business and used the same name but as a LLC, my company was opened INC.
This company has sinced trademarked their name and have attempted to "buy/take" my website domain name. They have offered me pennies for the domain name.
I have recently received a " Demand Engagement Letter " referencing " Trademark infringement" from a second attorney the company has hired.
I have been in contact with my legal representation and he suggested they have no grounds to stand on.
I'd just like to hear others opinions on this matter.
Thank you.
