To get a proper opinion, you have to show the attorney the letter. There are many scams out there, if you are asked to pay money in order to pay for the transfer of your million dollars, this is probably a scam. On the other hand, you may have just won the lottery.

If a descriptive mark has been registered as a trademark contrary to the provisions of subsection (e)(1) of Lanham Act § 2, can it be cancelled afterwards? Can the registration be upheld if it is shown that the mark has in the meanwhile secondary meaning (acquired distinctiveness?)
Sounds like a law school class question.
The answer is always depends.
Consult with an attorney.
You may be able to get a similar trademark if the marks belong to different classes of goods and services. If your mark belongs to a similar class as the registered mark, then no, the marks are too similar and may cause confusion amongst consumers. You should consult with an attorney.
You still have the trademark right because, if others use different font but the same words, on a similar product or service, consumers may be led to think that the product or service is from you, hence it will be trademark infringement.

I do not want to use anything from the old catalog. The label has been defunct for 29 years. I know the founder has no interest in dealing with music as a label. This is going to be a brand new start with new artist.
Even if a brand is expired in the trademark registry it can still be owned by somebody.

Is it basically up for grabs?
Unfortunately no. Trademark registration is just an evidence of first use of the trademark. Hence, if a trademark is canceled or it expires, it can be still under common law protection, provided that the owner has continued and continue using it for the same purposes of its original intent.
My phrase has three words, the filed phrase has five words that include my phrase. Both are in the same class.
Probably, it may be risky. You need a consult to review your options and risks.

I have a trademark that is registered in the US as well as in other countries. If I want to oppose a trademark in another country (where mine is also registered), can a US attorney do this or do I need to contact an attorney in the infringing trademark's country?
It all depends on the rules of the other country.
Most likely it will need to be a locally licensed attorney.
The standard is whether it is confusingly similar. It depends on the service. If it is gaming, you may have a problem. If it is for industry that is far from that, it should be okay. You should work with an attorney to conduct a thorough research before you start.
I have a coming soon page on my site, but I am unsure if I should file as Section 1a or 1b, because I don't know if 1a only applies to someone who is using the class specified directed to their business already.
Section 1a can only be used if a trademark is currently used in commerce. Section 1b is for marks that are not currently in use in commerce, but will be in use in commerce at a later date. Section 1b has some additional fees. You should consult with an attorney to find out which application you... Read more »
