I?m not a lawyer but do have some knowledge in domain name disputes and in my opinion you are NOT infringing on their trademark, unless you?re running an auction site.
If they were so concerned about their name they never should have used ?Bay? in it from the get go because Bay is a generic word. Maybe the town of Green Bay should sue them.
Also a person is entitled to use their real birth name for business purposes, so does that mean John Bay can no longer do business under his name?
If they really feel they have grounds against you for damaging their trademark the next move would be to serve you with a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order)
Not that they can?t just institute legal proceedings against you, of course they can but
that could take years to resolve.
Your decision has to be is it all really worth it?
