Dear Our Client,

Based on your company having no relationship with them, we have
suggested they should choose another name to avoid this conflict but
they insist on this name as CN domain names
(.cn/.com.cn/.net.cn/.org.cn) and internet keyword on the internet. In
our opinion, maybe they do the similar business as your company and
register it to promote his company.
According to the domain name registration principle: Domain name and
internet keyword which applied based on the international principle
are opened to companies as well as individuals. Any companies or
individuals have rights to register any domain name and internet
keyword which are unregistered. Because your company haven't
registered this name as CN domains and internet keyword on the
internet, anyone can obtain them by registration. However, in order to
avoid this conflict, the trademark or original name owner has priority
to make this registration in our audit period.
If your company is the original owner of this name and want to
register these CN domain names (.cn/.com.cn/.net.cn/.org.cn) and
internet keyword to prevent anybody from using them, please inform us
.
Kind regards

Robert Zhang
