FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:
The Complaint was submitted by the Complainant, CREDIT AGRICOLE S.A., which is a retail bank in France. The Czech Arbitration Court was requested to submit this Complaint for decision in accordance with the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, and CAC’s UDRP Supplemental rules of the Czech Arbitration Court.
The Complainant is a bank incorporated in France.
CREDIT AGRICOLE is a bank assisting clients both in France and around the world in all areas of banking and trades associated therewith, i.e. insurance management asset leasing and factoring, consumer credit, corporate and investments.
CREDIT AGRICOLE owns the "Trademarks" as listed above in this decision.
CREDIT AGRICOLE also owns the goodwill in the CREDIT AGRICOLE brands, and in associated marketing.
The Respondent is the registrant of the domain <crédit-agricole.foundation> and <créditagricole.foundation>. The disputed domain names were registered on 26 June 2019.
The Respondent has no rights or legitimate interest in the Domains. The Domains are not being used to host any legitimate site (or, at the last check, any site at all). The Respondent is 'typosquatting' in order to take advantage of CREDIT AGRICOLE’s trademarks as the disputed domain namesinclude the trademark in its entirety.
The Domains were registered in bad faith because the Respondent seeks only to take unfair advantage of CREDIT AGRICOLE’s brand. No legitimate interest is being pursued through the Domains.
The Complainant contends that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respects of the disputed domain names and is not in any way related to the Complainant. The Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent.
There has been neither license nor authorization granted to the Respondent for any use of the Complainant’s trademark CREDIT AGRICOLE, or to apply for registration of the disputed domain names.
The disputed domain names were registered in bad faith because the Respondent seeks only to take unfair advantages of Complainants trademarks.
