The Panel finds that the disputed domain name “boursorama-a.com” is confusingly similar to the Complainant’s trademark "BOURSORAMA".
The Complainant contends that the Respondent has made no use of, or demonstrable preparations to use, the disputed domain name, and is not commonly known under the disputed domain name. Neither license nor authorization has been granted to the Respondent to make any use of the Complainant’s trademark "BOURSORAMA", or apply for the registration of the disputed domain name "boursorama-a.com".
The Panel notes that the Respondent's name in the Whois database does not contain any reference to the disputed domain name or to "BOURSORAMA" or a similar word or name. The disputed domain name is also not used for any active website and only leads to a default page.
In lack of any response from the Respondent, or any other information indicating the contrary, the Panel concludes that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name.
These facts, including the absence of a Response, the proof that the Respondent has registered and used the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademark, and the absence of any activity in respect of the disputed domain name, also confirm that the disputed domain name has been registered in order to attempt to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to his own website, by creating a likelihood of confusion with Complainant's well-known trademark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement of Respondent's website.
Therefore, in lack of any response from the Respondent or any other information indicating the contrary, the Panel concludes that the Respondent has registered and uses the disputed domain name in bad faith.
