I received a letter from ig

Where in the world are you? If the US, I would be more inclined to listen to the email.
How did you get the domain? goddaddy vs some dodgy chinese registrar.
Same with server.
If all private / anon, then just ignore it. You could always say you never received any mail (which is why they ask you to confirm receipt).

But you have posted it here, so that probably wasn't so smart in hindsight

Exactly
You need to tell us which country you from
If you are from Asia or Africa,Eastern Europe you can just ignore the mail and keep doing your work;)
I highly doubt they will sue you:confused:

Uhm, im owning some domains which contain "ig" which stands for Instagram, could they also contact me?
 
They have clearly mentioned that they own the trademark. I am sure your Country may also have some kind of trademark laws.
Drop the domain and just move on.
 
Those guys are jobless, and takes any job extremely serious.
it's much better to leave that domain

No. IG could stand for anything, if anyone asks.
I would request my registrar to delete the domain. Google UDRP if you're not sure. Domain trademarks can be serious shit.

Could be but almost never are.

UPS, Fedex, Lands End, Google and a slew of others, including the company that owns the trademark that I use for my username here (Tracker Boats) have all sent me C & Ds over the years.

It's a simple letter, you keep running with your deal until you can no longer and then you give it up or it just gets taken.

UPS, BTW, was twice and I'm getting ready to go again as that is a very profitable idea I use with them.

Chicken Little does not make appearances in trademark issues 99% of the time when it comes to a domain name.
 
Millennials naming their babies Instagram, will receive the same letter

I own a dog who we named Google and another one who we named Bing.

My guess is they allow dogs to be named that but not babies.
