Hi
I bought a domain last year in May and recently I emailed a company via outbound asking them whether they were interested in purchasing it.
I always due my due diligence before buying domains but on this occasion I didn't realise that the company have applied for a trademark similar (not exact) to my domain name that I offered them.
Their trademark application hasn't been registered yet but it is live and they may or may not get the registration. They applied for the trademark in January this year and I registered the domain in May last year.
They haven't replied to me yet but as I got worried I deleted the domain from my registrar (will probably take 30 days or so to fully delete and be available for registration again).
My question is did I do the right thing and should I be ok even though I asked them whether they would like to purchase it (they haven't replied) but I've now deleted the domain?
Could I still be in bother even after the domain is deleted and I am no longer its owner despite me contacting them when I was the registered owner?
Thanks
