So, am I in the shit or are they chancing their arm? I did check and there's no trademark against their logo.

# Quick! Get yours trademarked
Then fuck them for infringement.

But yes, do this. Do it now.

# Actually, this might be the right thing to do!
Their last registered logo was the one here: www.ipo.gov.uk/domestic?domesticnum=1537753
and it has expired. I can't find any record of registration of the logo. If they register it now, I suspect you could easily show that you had been using your logo before they started using registered theirs, and although you probably couldn't get away with claiming that they copied or infringed yours, it might severely clip their toenails.

# nicey done!
it seems that their current logo was never trade marked, so fuck 'em

# Do you get a lot of page views?
You could do a deal with them on a "Looking for cashconverters? click here" link.

# Well, I'm not a legal professional
so all I can really do is just strip naked and roll around the floor.

*rolls about*

OH MAN! Best feeling ever!

# Fortunately, whilst I am not a legal professional
whilst I am not a legal professionalall I can do is film people rolling around on the floor having first stripped naked

*filums*

# Interestingly enough I am
actually a legal professional (no, really) who specialises in this sort of thing (I usually write these sorts of letters (though my ones are much, much better)). Despite this all I can do is also film people rolling around on the floor.

Use the 'Chewbacca' defence. Never fails.

# You just reply to the extent that this is a load of old twaddle, that you did not infringe any trademark
and that the parody exists for humour only.

Tell them that, if they want, you will add a link to the real store, but that you have taken advice and do not feel that there is any case to answer here.

Then strip naked and roll on the floor.
