Hi there,
First post for me on this forum.
I bought and started using what I thought was a generic domain name, but as it turns out it was a trademarked name.
I received a cease and desist letter this week wanting me to shut down my site and to transfer it across to the company with the trademark. i have taken down my site and have offered to transfer it to them.
My site by the way is an affiliate site which directs visitors to one of the trademarked company's competitors so I am also being threatened with being sued for damages.
The attorneys are now asking about my relationship with the merchant I am affiliated with... so what I am wondering is if I should be worried about them suing me for the affiliate money i have earned through my site and also could they sue me for the total amount of sales that I have sent to the competing company.
I think I should seek legal advice, does anyone know of an attorney either online or in the Vancouver area.
signed... very worried
