Hi team,

We have a business in New Zealand that's health service-related.

Today, we got an email regarding our domain name, and business name not being trademarked and is at risk of rip-offs.

I assume this is just the type of email we can ignore?

yes it will be some one / company that will next offer to do it for you with a nice markup. You can do it all yourself at https://www.iponz.govt.nz/about-ip/trade-marks/

As tripp stated, its purely a marketing email in the hopes that you will contract with them to get it sorted for you. Most of these are shotgun approach - flick out thousands of emails like this in the hope some stick.
