Here is my comment:

The following words bother me:

>...intellectual property right of your company...
>...register "permaculture" as Internet brand name...
>...who is responsible for trademark or Intellectual property right... 

Sounds to me like they're looking for you to sign over your right to the 
intellectual property of your own company *and* allow them to swipe the 
company name away from you as well. 

They may be meeting a legal requirement by contacting you with this query. If 
you do not respond, you may be assenting by default.

I personally would respond in some verifiable way (Like in writing, addressed 
to someone specific) with "No, you may not."

That way you go on record as having responded. I also would not respond by 
phone as they prefer- That communication won't be verifiable.

If you respond by phone, not only is your response not verifiable, but they 
now have "phished" out details of your position and know what legal steps to 
take to circumvent your position.

You could always tell them yes they can have it- For $200K USD :).

Bad, ain't I < g r i n >. Of course, I just call it careful :). China has a 
pretty bad track record IMO.

PS: Notice I said *nothing* about a Chinaman named Eros.

*Potenco’s Pull-Cord Generator* (PCG) keeps portable electronic devices 
working all the time while providing freedom and independence from 
traditional power sources.

Simply hold the PCG in the palm of one hand, pull the cord with the 
other hand, and generate instant energy. The PCG safely powers 
rechargeable batteries and provides energy for a variety of critical 
electronics such as lighting, cell phones, radios, GPS, PDAs, and water 
purifiers.

The first application of the PCG will power the XO Laptop available from 
the One Laptop per Child Project (OLPC) <http://laptop.org>.
