Trademark problems?
Hi, I have spent considerable amounts of time and money to find a domain and finally got the domain arura.com through SnapName Snap-Back service, and I have spent lots of time and money to develop it to a community with active members with subdomains hosted for free at my domain. I have just paid someone to create a mascot for my website and consider to develop cms system for it. Arura is considered my online identity, since I register as Arura on the internet.
Today I received this email:
> Please change the name of your domain. We have a German brand registration
> for that name. This will lead to complications!
I have looked up at the http://oami.eu.int/ website and other trademark search engines but could not find Arura as a registered trademark.
It is not a very formal email, so do I have to be concerned? And what should I reply back to keep my domain and not make an enemy.
Give me good advice please.
Best regards
Arura
