I have a Facebook page with 12000 members and have had it for a few years now, so decided to set up a website advertising camping holidays in the UK, over the weekend I received an email from a company in the US saying I was infringing their trademark.
My website is under-canvasuk and theres is undercanvas similar but not the same, I have looked into this and there doesn't seem to be much information about this unless I pay a hefty sum, the US company is also saying I must hand over my paid for domain name, again I have looked into this and can see no reason to simply hand it to them.
Trademark infringement is if I was mimicking their business which I am not, both are in the camping business but completely different, and For me to infringe their intellectual property I would need to register my website in the US and it is registered in the UK only.
Do they have a case against me or are they simply trying it on.
