Ask HN: OK to restart an app abandoned by it's founders?

An app I thought was a great idea shut down more than 3 years ago. I recently had the idea to bring it back, and found the domain was available, so I bought it. I also found the trademark marked ABANDONED/DEAD. The company raised a small round of funding, and was popular for about a year in certain Twitter circles. It likely has some brand recognition among those in the startup crowd. I've tried to reach the founders and others on the original team multiple times via multiple methods, to no response. I'd prefer to get their consent - but interested to hear whether you think it'd be OK to just go ahead and reopen the site?
