Unless you have deep pockets you might want to give it up. I know someone that's been down this road before.

In particular:

[quote="partsace"]The people using the domain name have every right to use it and are authorized sellers of this product.[/quote]

The easiest thing this company can do is cut off your source of merchandise. Then what good is the domain name?

One word of advice though...[b]don't[/b] offer to sell it to them (it's different if they make an ofer without you asking). Often times that's enough to have WIPO take it from you if they submit a complaint.
