I think you'll discover, if you investigate for yourself, that you have to go through arbitration and reject the results before a court will accept the case. That's why I used the adjective, "normally".

send them an email back saying what you said in the first post and ask for a quote of the law / guideline they are refering to which states they should be entitled to ownership of the domain name and ask for it in full, save the emails and best of luck, don't give in unless your site is 1- illegal 2- related to thiers

also if they are worried about typosquatting put a note on the home page that if you were looking for ******* (there site address) that you have it wrong and basically they can't do much how can they say your trying to do that whilst your saying your not it.

That's a good idea. By the way, what is your site, and what's the site of the company that's trying to get you to give it up?
