do not fall for that. They are putting pressure on you to compel you to renew with them at exorbitant prices. This is a well-known and old scam, and you can google it. I have for all of my registered domain names over the past 20 years received those same emails, and I never budged. No one ever registered the web sites as threatened. LibreOffice is a TM, and you hold libreoffice-NA.US. If in fact they register, Chinese IP rights have gotten a lot better. Again, do not fall for it. On 7/28/2017 08:21, Tim-L--Elmira-NY wrote:

Since I have had my domain for several years, and this Chinese company is just starting up - so I believe from the emails - so I have the "keyword" and "fair-use trademark".SO, have anyone in this list know of any Chinese LibreOffice "company"wanting to use LibreOffice-NA as part of their domain?I use it myself and it is a shortened name meaning the following: LibreOffice-NA.US LibreOffice - North America - in the USA. I really like to know what is going on with the info I am getting fromChina stating that someone is trying to register my domain name and wanting me to give it up.Currently, I am not doing much with that domain, but hope to have someadd-ons for LibreOffice - like my specialized color palettes. I do have some palettes created, but they are not quite ready for full publishing. Also I need to remember where Win10 and Linux RPM "hides" the color palettes. I know where Linux DEB "hides" these files.Tim L.If your registration is not about to expire you have norhing to worry about. If so, renew ASAP. My two cents. BestI have all of my domains set to auto renew, just in case I forget to renew after I get a renewal notice. It seems that the Chinese registry feels I may have troubles. I just want to fine out what is going on. It seems to be a Chinese company wanting to deal with LibreOffice in some way. So I thought someone here might know something about this Chinese company.
