Got a threat letter from Toys-R-US Today
I'm wondering if some of you guys especially lawyers or those who dealt with this type of shit can give any input on this situation.....
I own a website that uses the "R US" in it. Toys-R-US lawyers fedex'd a letter to me today saying that my website violates their trademark and the domain registration agreement of some sort. They explained how they own a bunch of "r us" trademark names and its considered very exclusive...so they basicaly telling me and demanding that I transfer the domain name to them and shut the site down. So i'm just wondering..should i just do what they say, or could i be just like "Ok i'll shut the site down, but if you want it transferred to your name you're gonna have to pay me for it" - or is that a bad idea? I never dealt with any of these issues before anyone who can give some input, appreciated..
Thanks
Paul
