So I received an email today from the LINKEDIN company (http://www.linkedin.com/)telling me to cease my use of xxxlinked-in.com and my associated logo (http://xxxlinked-in.com/), or they will file legal action against me.

I have searched the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) for the trademark "linked-in" and "xxxlinked-in". Nothing is registered under those names. But their trademark "LINKEDIN" is registered (U.S. Trademark Registration No. 3,074,241).

Does anyone know if my site "XXXLinked-In.com" (and my logo) is sufficiently close to "LINKEDIN" to cause a Trademark violation?
