What jurisdiction do you operate out of? - I.E. New York, United States? That means alot. I've worked on trade dress/consumer confusion cases - if you are in the US you will can get sued in federal court anywhere for this type of stuff. It's a nightmare. PM me the name of the lawyers handling the case for Lonely Planet - or if the letter was CC'D to a law firm -
The demand letter was NOT civil -
1. Treat the letter very very very seriously.
You should also delete this post - if the case has been referred to higher end IP attorneys they may already have bots scouring the internet for anything you do or say. I know from personally seeing it happen - I've represented companies that merged and my adversary knew about it before I did.
