You should send a response letter.
Thanks for the advise, but telling what? I was thinking of replying to their email just saying "I'll hand this over my lawyer, and we'll back to you soon", or something like that, then come back and tell them they don't have a case.
Their email said they sent a physical letter. Should I reply with a physical letter as well ?

If your name violates it very clearly
The name is identical, just change the extension. They have the .eu and their ccTld. But it is a generic spanish word! The last "famous" company in Mexico I've heard using that word commercially was a soap brand in the 80's.

I know it is not a good idea to expose a case here, but I'll try to give some details. The company is multinational in Europe and only in Europe. Their website is not very popular (Alexa ranking 1,000,000+), but due the nature of its very expensive product, I would not expect a very trafficked site.
This company is owned/managed by another even richer company related to gambling (which is another brand and site).
Their brand is totally unknown in Mexico. Their product is just seen in American movies.

I don't know why they do this. An UDRP is $4,000.00, plus the attorney is easly another 2 to 4 (not sure). That's about $8,000.00.

I could be happy to sell it at mid X,XXX and avoid all these stupid things, but I know, I know, I should not tell them this idea.
