What's the company's name? Can't give you specific advice without knowing this. Also, take a look at the company's accounts (buy a digital copy via companies house for £10) - see if they are even in a position to take legal action. However,

How important is the name to you? That's what you got to decide. If you decide you'd like to keep the name, then don't worry. These guys will have to get serious and actually follow legal protocol before even filing for any case. Such a cas

I don't think you can call Moshi Monsters and Shazam a 'startup' anymore.
