Subject: CN & ASIA domain names and Internet Keyword
From: Jim (jim.bing@cnregistry.net)
Dear CEO,
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&ASIA domain names and internet keyword.in our opinion, maybe they do the similar business as your company and register it to promote his company.
You must know domain name takes open registration, this is domain name registration principle. 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&ASIA domains and internet keyword on the internet, anyone can obtain them by registration.
As a domain name registrar, we have no right to dispute their application. However, in order to avoid this conflict, the trademark or original name owner will get the 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&ASIA domain names (.asia, .cn,.com.cn,.net.cn,.org.cn) and internet keyword to prevent anybody from using them, please inform us. We can send an application form and the price list to you and help you register these within dispute period. If not, you can give up and we will finish their registration.
Kind regards
Jim
