Great advice from all on this issue. Thanks guys and gals. I wrote the email, very professionally and sounding like I was a fortune 500 company. They turned it over immediately! I listed evidence of my common law claim to the domain...and they didn't even question.
Here's a cut and paste of what they said. I'll XXXX out their corporate name.
"We are in receipt of your e-mail concerning the domain name FOLLOWYOURBLISSTORE.COM. XXXXXXX., takes extreme steps to avoid registering domain names that incorporate names or trademarks of others. After reviewing your email and investigating the situation, we have determined that this domain name was inadvertently not blocked by our initial registration procedures. The domain was picked up by our secondary procedures."
"We have put the domain in to a status of 410, which means the domain appears to not be valid and the page will not display. This domain is available for immediate transfer. You can initiate a transfer from your registrar of choice, and we will approve the transaction. There is a 60 day period from the initial registration of a domain where the XXXX XXX XXX, prevents any transfer of a domain."
I'll be updating on the "other" TM issue I'm involved with shortly. That appears to be going smoothly as well.
I hope that someday I can become knowledgeable enough to help somebody else....instead of the person always looking for help!
Thanks again,
Tanya
