Our company was launched in 2003, well before Google Sites. Since we also own the trademark for Bandzoogle, it isn't a stretch to change to Sitezoogle. My lawyer (who can't officially represent me) said that the trademark office looks mainly at the first 4 letters of the name. Google Sites is a trademark, which is very different from Sitezoogle.

The very worst that can happen is that I lose a few thousand dollars defending their contest. It's not like they are going to back down at this point. The next thing they'll send is the domain dispute letter. If I lose, fine, I'll change the name. But just instantly giving in to the big "do no evil" bully seems a little premature.

In case they file a UDRP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Domain_Name_Dispute_Res...) complaint, make sure that your contact info is correct on your whois (http://www.whois.net/whois/Sitezoogle.com). I know somebody who lost a UDRP complaint because their contact info was out of date and the UDRP complaint wasn't sent to them, so they lost by default.
