hey guys i got a mail today

I see that you have registered many domain names using the REALTOR marks. As a matter of fact, we own the term REALTOR and REALTORS in many of these countries or have cooperative agreements with real estate associations or institutes in some of these countries. Since you are in the United States and also have registered the Marks with state abbreviations, I would like to know what you had planned to do with these domain names, but none-the-less we request that you do not use any domain name that has utilized our Members's Marks. I also would like to inform you that the National Association maintains a careful watch over products and services which utilize the REALTOR marks in their marketing. There is a serious risk of confusion regarding the sponsorship, endorsement or participation of the National Association in connection with such products. Because of this risk, the National Associat
To eliminate this potential source of conflict, we would appreciate your cooperation in revising these domain names to eliminate the use of the membership marks. Many times this is as simple as substituting an appropriate job title for the term being used, for example, real estate broker can often be used without making any other changes to the text. If you would like to read more about trademarks and the rights of trademark owners, there are a number of sites on the Internet, which address this topic.

We are attempting to track our efforts in connection with the Internet and request that you acknowledge your understanding of this request for your cooperation and provide us with your estimate of when we can expect to see your site updated. Thank you for your help and we look forward to receiving your reply.
