It appears that they have little or no basis for a valid complaint, based on what you say. That applies to many communications I have received.

A clear statement of the facts and DRS policy is usually sufficient to resolve matters, however threatening they may seem at the outset.

Let us know how you get on.

If you've missed the deadline for a response db I would contact nom. and see if they'll extend it for you. Failing that it will go to a summary decision and you'll be at the mercy of the expert.

If I was you I'd use ***** and bin this thread. You dont want the complainant reading this and getting prior knowledge of your defence or educating themselves on how poor their own defence is and subsequently changing it.

pm me if you want ***** name.

If you read though some of the decisions people can still win when they don't reply (I spent a lot of time looking at them myself recently when I was threatened with one).

They have to prove that you're infringing on their trademark and that you've registered it maliciously, and it doesn't look like they can do that, so they should lose.

If it's a fruit and you have lots of other food related names then that should be enough to prove that you're simply following a pattern that is already established (from what I've read of other drs's where the complainant lost), so I'd send in the details.

If you registered any similar names on the same day, or within a day or 2 then that should really seal it - since you clearly weren't just after their name (again, from what I've read in previous decisions).

They sound like a pack of bullies to me.

If you still have a chance reply with a response. You can do this on-line by logging into your account and uploading a .doc file.

Don't assume the Expert knows about all the aspects of the domain business.

Quote cases in the past that have been favourable to respondents. I believe verbatim.co.uk has some good material in it. e.g. "not bad faith to park and sell domains". Also cyclone.co.uk has some nuggets.
