Software Patent — domain squatter demanding ransom

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

domain squatter demanding ransom. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but did not get a clear answer.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.
