<p>Thanks Richard,</p>
<p>Yes, could be a scam.</p>
<p>And even if it is for real, I believe the QGIS trademark applies only within Europe.</p>
<p>Ignore then ...</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply,</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

On November 16, 2021, we received an application from Hongxiang Ltd requested "qgis" as their internet keyword and China (CN) domain names (qgis.cn, qgis.com.cn, qgis.net.cn, qgis.org.cn). But after checking it, we find this name conflict with your company name or trademark.
