The domain in question is sitting unused for past 11 years. Although, trademark is recent and you are holding the domain from very long time law should favour you. But because it is just sitting there without any use will make things complicated.

What I can understand from the facts you posted is they made a fair offer. They are is need of domain name and you are not using it at all. 11 years is a very long time and you are, willingly or unwillingly, blocking it for others. It will be good you not take this this to court and negotiate on a fair price.

Another alternative is, register the trademark in another category. In my country, there are 40 trademark categories. So making registration in any valid category should give you shield to protect the name.

Do you know of any cases where a person was using a domain and someone grabbed the trademark and tried to take the domain?
