| If your domain is .org / .info, which I think is what you're saying, and furthermore you're earning virtually nothing on parking, then this one seems to me as a "no brainer" - hand over the domains to them and be done with the matter.
Some battles aren't worth fighting.
However, if you so choose to fight back, simply doing nothing may be sufficient (assuming the domain in question is somewhat different than theirs; if it's exact other than extension, then disregard this part of my reply) - seems counter-intuitive, but it's highly likely they blindly sent out numerous C&Ds to anyone with a domain even closely similar to their brand name in hopes of simply getting voluntary settlements with no plans to pursue.
However, if they choose to pursue the matter, it's likely they'll file a UDRP on your domain along with numerous others as a group filing...
And likely the worst that would happen is you lose the domain - no biggie other than losing UDRPs can potentially increase one's risk of losing UDRP challengs in the future.
Lawsuits are rare, though can never be ruled out, but that's a lot of extra hassle for most companies when they simply want the domain.
If you choose to hand it over - my suggestion is do NOT sign anything.
Simply update the Whois to their information / DNS, unlock the domain, and provide them the authcode - then it's up to them to transfer it out at their convenience ... they may choose to simply let it expire.
Hope this helps.
