Protect your rights and Fight Fight Fight! You need to explain the details for anyone here to really asses this situation.
However I will tell you I had a domain that was the exact name of an extremely big site. How they never registered it is beyond me, but I happened to be registering domains one day and typed it in and I saw it was available. I checked again on several other whois databases and it was showing available. I kept saying to myself no way could this be true. Then figured wtf and registered it.
Wanting to be fair, I called them up and said I had a domain name that matched one of their big sites and if they would be interested in buying it for just a small amount of consideration. Keep in mind this was when adult was just getting rolling on the Net and a lot of legal precedents hadn't yet been laid in place. They said sure for $0 dollars and started right away with the threats that it was their trademark, they would sue me for it, etc. I got really pissed off the way they got instantly dicky, and I said hey even though you have a site with this name, its a big name thats been used in this business long before the Net came about and they should have registered if they felt it was theirs.
A few weeks later, I get a threat letter from their attorneys saying this and that ,ad they said it was a federally registered trademark and they wanted the domain transferred for free from me. I did my homework and found out they were bullshitting and hadn't registered anything related to this name. I laced the attorney royally for bs'ing me and told them for being such dickoff's I wouldn't sale at any price and said go ahead and sue and I'll see you in court.
Long story short, they couldn't do shit, because it did have prior use in the industry, they hadn't registered it officially with the USPTO, and I did eventually sell it for some very nice $ though to a competitor.
So if you have a valid case stand up and fight if you don't don't waste your time and cut a deal.
