Big company went public, I own their ideal domain name
A company went public recently. Let's call them "Company, Inc." They are doing very well.
I own "Company.com".
I think I have every right to company.com. It's a meaningless word, but brandable. I registered it before they trademarked anything, etc just because it sounded cool. (I'm not 100% sure, but pretty sure. If US Gov trademark search is worth anything.)
I am getting a steady stream of email for that company. Much of it pissed off customers, others are internal memos. I get surfers and even phone calls about the IPO. No big deal, but clearly they will want this domain.
Are there any pitfalls I should watch out for? I don't want to give them any claim to it.
