I wonder what company eh?

Well id say you probably are vulnerable to the law (if its applied correctly) assuming that you bought the domain from someone in the states...

however i dont think your cybersquatting... just using their name to promote a prodcut about their product doesnt seem to be squatting to me...

Seems to me they should be offering to buy it from you, not threatening you.

I'm not expert, but I'd tell them to make me an offer I can't refuse!

not a lawyer, but I say fight it. Both you and the internet are outside the jurisdiction of the law. They might be able to get you if you host the site with an American company or on an American server, but barring that they really have no case.

The issue is AdSense and AdWords are registered trademarks, and you may be considered guilty of the "Tort of passing off" or some such thing. I had a similar experience with my domain name seek.net.nz, where the .com and .co.nz owner felt my search engine was too close to their marketplace. I got media involved, and they have since left me alone. But if I ever get seek going again, they may come back to haunt me.

you'd think they'd have to show that you were intentionally squatting on something that should obviously theirs.... weird, mate - it's not like you took cocacolaisdelicious.com..... good luck with this...

i researched this law for my company who owns a trademarked name but the .com domain of that name is owned by someone else. basically, for us to sue them, we'd have to prove "malicious intent" in them having the domain. us owning the trademark was not enough. all we could do is offer to buy it off of them, or, recommeded first step... send a threatening letter and hope they get scared into handing it over. im guessing this is what was done to you.

Hiya

Yes this is what I discivered also, but as I said do you really want to be pissing off Google ha ha Not really to be honest :)
