This is bit out of the ordinary. Some year or more ago a guy based in USA said that if I caught a certain domain for him (a european tld) he would pay me an amount. He was also trying for the domain as well with certain other registrars. Well I caught it. He then failed to pay giving vague excuses. I know for a fact he has trademark in USA and UK. Now he has come back to me strongly implying some kind of TM action and seemingly "forgetting" that he asked me to catch the domain in the first place.
Any ideas what best course is ?. I am not going to let him off the money, just want to know where I stand. One other factor is that he, as US citizen, is not allowed to register said tld.

That's so messed up...good thing it's in writing!!
Offer to sell it to him for what YOU want. And offer to make the deal public too. Wouldn't want any secrets, would we?
Just done some checking around.The guy has houses in Laguna Beach and Aspen. Are those "well off" areas ??.
DG
You better believe it. He sure isn't 'poor'.
Thanks. I kinda thought that from Aspen but wasnt too sure about Laguna Beach. Hmm, another tight arse rich guy strikes again.
DG
Laguna Beach is one of the richest places in California..his bread is looooooooong dude
I'm buying credit, banking, loan, insurance related generics in .com, .net, .org with high search volumes/traffic. Will consider typos too! - PLEASE PM with name, info, & asking price!
Usually the hardest part of being rich is keeping everyone else's hands off your $, should'nt be the other way around...lol
This guy must be really, really tight then as he is quibbling about $1000. Im keeping the domain and he can get stuffed.

If possible, post (or PM) the trademark name.
There can and usually is multiple trademarks awarded for the same word or words.
A Trade Mark is exactly what it says...a mark used to identify your business.
How the word, words, design, or logo is used is trademarked. Not necessarily the word in and of itself.

I don't think poor people have two houses...
What a fool though - have you reminded him he asked you to catch it?
