Typical BS.

Chances are the original registrant/company let the domain lapse, as you said.
If that's the case, end of story.

Since you're putting up a biz with that name that's not competing with them,
then you definitely have rights to it. But if they're prepared to go the whole
nine yards, then it's up to you whether you should prepare for that possibility.

Talk to a lawyer as the others have said. Let him/her handle that for you, and
good luck!

Incidentally a long-time veteran just joined here as well: Brett Lewis. :-D
