I. Introduction to Renault

Renault is a French automobile manufacturer. Louis Renault founded the Renault factory in Billancourt in October 1898, later reorganized as Renault SA, producing a wide range of vehicles. During World War I, it produced firearms, ammunition, aircraft, and light tanks. After the war, it resumed its traditional production activities, continuously expanding into new areas and sectors and strengthening ties with other industrial companies, becoming one of the largest industrial enterprises in France at the time. During World War II, it produced weapons and munitions for the German fascists. In September 1944, the company was taken over by the French government, and Louis Renault was punished. In 1945, it was nationalized, with a government-appointed chairman and management structure, and adopted its current name. Since then, the company has rapidly recovered and developed, gradually diversifying its operations.

II. Acquisition of the Official Renault Website Domain Name

Renault is one of the world's top ten automobile companies and the second-largest in France.

There is a relevant case regarding the acquisition of the Renault official website domain name. A businessman registered a .co.uk domain name containing Renault's company name and used the Renault diamond logo on his website. Renault complained to internet regulator Nominet, and the domain was ultimately transferred to Renault. Renault's official website is www.renault.com, and its Chinese website is www.renault.cn.
