Mairiedeparis.fr is my domain. It was included in a bulk buy. The term means "Town Hall of Paris". It seems to me that this set of words is too vague to have trademark protection but who knows? I REALLY don't want to lose this name!
Does anyone know how I can find out if they have a valid trademark on the name and/or if they can take it from me in only 3 days? How should I proceed? Should I contact them or wait it out to see what happens?
Help!!! :yell:
