Need advice please regarding matter concerning one of my domains
I received an email today (copy below) from a company concerning one of my domains which I don't really understand and I'm not sure how to respond to.
I think they're just advising me as a courtesy that they want to register the domain name as their internet trademark. That being the case though, would my ownership and use of the .com domain be affected?
Basically, I'm not sure of exactly what they're asking, or of the implications (if any), so before I get back to them, I'm looking for some advice please!
If anyone could help, I'd be grateful.
Thanks,
Brian
