Well that's a scam.
If they're going to sue you, let them. You literally have prior use of the term and if you have to prove that, you can with comical ease.
They know this… which is why this sounds like bullies trying to scare you into giving up a domain they can't afford to pay for. Scary letters are cheap. Write one back asking they reassign their trademark to you?
But seriously, probably get paid advice first, and don't worry about this 3 day nonsense. Nobody works that fast.
And remember that trademarks are classed. Rarely does somebody get exclusive use of a name in all senses. You might not be able to sell what they sell under their trademark, but they don't have rights to the word in generic senses.
Oh and probably approach a regulatory body about their solicitors. This isn't an appropriate way to conduct business.
- geocrasher 5y agodon't worry about this 3 day nonsense. Nobody works that fast. This was a red flag for me too. 3 days to take action? It takes longer than that to get anything done these days. They're trying to scare you into compliance. Three days is not enough time to get legal advice from an actual lawyer who is versed in domain name law, and respond. If you're gonna spend any money with a lawyer, have one write up a "go away or I'll let this go to trial and you can pay my legal fees" letter to send back to them.
