Re: Trademark Name
Yes! Any threat to sue you should be a matter of concern, even if it is obviously frivolous and you are sure of winning (which is probably not the case here). Even if you do win, defending a suit, especially one in the area of intellectual property such as trademarks, can be expensive.
Here, two concepts are worth researching: cybersquatting and cyperpiracy. They don't mean the same thing, but I do see some confusion in their use.
To me, cybersquatting means registering domain names that are, or might be, of value to someone else, such as "cocacoladeguatemala" in the hope, or with apparent intent, to ransom the domain to the other party owning the trademark. This practice is illegal, but only if done with the intent to profit from the trademark owner.
Cyberpiracy is the practice of registering a domain name that is so confusingly similar to that of another well-established firm that potential customers trying to find the established firm will stumble upon the similar site and do business with it, thus depriving the intended firm of business.
I am doubtful that you are engaging in either of these illegal practices, but maybe you are, and in any event if you are sued you may have to shell out tens of thousands of dollars in defense costs to establish your non-liability.
I suggest you do some on-line research using cybersquatting and cyberpiracy to see what others have to say and to read about cases where civil liability has been found, and others where the defendant has prevailed. This will give you a better feel for whether you have serious problems or maybe not. If the former, start talking to lawyers near you.
