Legal advice and letter of opposal

Recently I trademarked a website I'd like to start called 'salebay' and I've received a legal letter from eBay lawyers for infringement and dilution of eBays trade marks. I'd like to know if I have a case to continue and fight and what would be our likelihood of winning? Their legal letter states that they have successfully pursued 'perfumebay', 'tradebay', 'coinbay' etc so I'm worried it's a David & Goliath situation that could bankrupt me. My site is not intended for individual sellers like eBay, we deal with wholesalers and manufacturers who have end of line or excess stock they'd like to clear on sale, similar to Groupon & Ozsale. Can eBay own the rights to everything with 'bay' And force us to cease?

Not at all! They are eBay and that does not mean that they own and have right over whatever ends in bay. This cannot be termed as infringement unless they are having right over salebay. I am letting you know the possible situation. They would have tried to book this domain but after finding it unavailable they tried to scare out the owner by sending the legal notice. Believe me, if they pursue this case, they are gonna loose as this may be case against fair competition. Share their letter in chat please.. Dear Sir/Madam, Good day to you! I have expertise in legal drafting, Contracts and agreement. Right now I am working with an LLP (Limited Liability Partnership, same as LLC) functioning in the areas of Regulatory Compliance (Legal), Accounting, Assurance and Taxation. I come from a legal background which is must for this project. My experience makes me perfect fit for this project. Why Me: 1. 5 Star rating and low cost 2. Expertise and Experience 3. in the purview of the law, enforceable 4. Unlimited revisions in the work even after closure of the project 5. Well researched 6. Cover all the aspects 7. Flexible enough to suite your needs I shall be thankful if you consider me for this project. Before awarding me the project please let me know in the chat. If required I am ready to show my work. Thanks and Regard Ashutosh Shukla

Dear Sir/Madame, My name is Pavel Vasilevski and I am practicing trademark lawyer here in Switzerland. I have worked on over 40 trademark opposition cases. Your problem is not much different from many others. Ebay lawyers assume that you would like to "free ride" their trademark by simply adding "sal" affix and they are partly right. There are three different ways to establish the link between the existing and newly registered trademark. If they prove profoundly at least one of them then your trademark infringes the Ebay's. Contact me for further details. Best regards, Pavel Best regards, Pavel
