If they applied AFTER you bought it, then call an attorney. You don't have to turn it over. Unless there is something that has changed since the last time I read a news article on this.
Its basically a first come first serve... so if you are in possession BEFROE they do a TM, then they are outta luck. But I'm pretty sure the TM stands from the application date, not the approval date.
Now for that help, I don't want to see another napster of porn spam, mmmK? ;-)
