In the aforementioned matter we write you on behalf of our client ??, who we regularly represent and advise in IP matters.

Recently our client became aware of the fact that you use

The registration and use of that domain infringes trademark rights of our client.

Our client is inter alia owner of the following trademark

??

This trademark gives the owner an exclusive right and allows its proprietor to prevent third parties from using a sign in commerce without his consent if the sign in question and the trademark are at least similar and cover identical or similar goods or services, so that there is a risk of confusion between them for the relevant trade.

In the case at hand you are using ?? as an identical sign like the registered trademark of our client.

You are required to refrain from using the sign ?? as part of the domain ??.

Furthermore, you are obliged to compensate our client for any damages which were caused through the unauthorized use of the trademark. To be able to calculate those damages you are obliged to provide us comprehensive information about the actual use of the domain name, turnover, advertising etc. and provide respective documentation.

To avoid further lengthy and especially costly litigation we offer you the possibility to solve this matter [ENDE DER VORSCHAU]
