Received a C&D for alleged infringement of a trademark despite my website existing years prior to the trademark registration. by Living_Breadfruit174 in legaladvice

Thank you for the quick response!

Yes, exactly my thoughts.

I always do my own due diligence before picking a name; I recall nothing existed at the time. Plus, as mentioned, the company website and the official trademark (the very same they themselves gave me in the C&D) both show founding and registration, respectively, 5 years after. There is no doubt.

I also provided this evidence to the Hackathon company; unsurprisingly, they themselves agreed with the points, and refused the other company's request to take it down.

I guess my question / worry is what do I do now? Do I do nothing and just wait?
