Complainant claims to be the owner of various "BOLLORE" trademarks, including the international trademark registration no. 704697 “Bolloré” (with design), issued December 11, 1998, which is protected in numerous countries and covers various goods and services in international classes 16, 17, 34, 35, 36, 38, and 39.
A different legal entity named “BOLLORE PROTECTION”, which also has a different street address than Complainant, owns the international trademark registration no. 595172 “BOLLORE” (word), issued August 14, 1992, which is protected in various countries and covers numerous goods and services in international classes 06, 09, 11, 12, 13, 19, 20, 37, 41, 42. The Complaint does not explain, however, the relationship between the Complainant’s company “BOLLORE” and this other company “BOLLORE PROTECTION”, so it remains unclear whether they belong to the same group of companies. The Panel has therefore decided to disregard this international trademark registration no. 595172 “BOLLORE” (word).
The disputed domain name was registered on September 19, 2017, i.e. the Complainant’s international trademark registration no. 704697 “Bolloré” (with design) predates the registration of the disputed domain name.
