PARTIES' CONTENTIONS: COMPLAINANT: The Complainant relies on its rights in the RATP mark acquired through its ownership of the abovementioned portfolio of trademarks. Additionally, the Complainant submits that since 1949, it has used the RATP mark in the Île-de-France region and around the world, via its numerous subsidiaries. Providing travellers with 16 million daily journeys on its services, the Complainant claims to be the fifth largest public transport operator in the world. The Complainant alleges that the disputed domain name <ratplogistics.com> is identical to its trademark RATP LOGISTICS as it includes the Complainant’s trademark in its entirety without any adjunction of letter or word. The Complainant adds that it is well established that the generic Top Level Domain (“gTLD”) extension <.com> should be disregarded for the purposes of comparison. Citing F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG v.

WIPO Case No. D2006-0451 (“It is also well established that the specific top level of a domain name such as “.com”, “.org” or “.net” does not affect the domain name for the purpose of determining whether it is identical or confusingly similar.”). The Complainant submits that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name. The Complainant asserts that the Respondent is not commonly known by the disputed domain name and submits that past panels have held that a respondent was not commonly known by a disputed domain name in circumstances where the registrant’s identity in the WHOIS information was not similar to the disputed domain name.

RESPONDENT:

No administratively compliant Response has been filed.

Rights
The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy).

No rights or legitimate interests
The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Respondent to have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy).

Bad faith
The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy).

Procedural Factors
The Panel is satisfied that all procedural requirements under UDRP were met and there is no other reason why it would be inappropriate to provide a decision.

Principal Reasons for the Decision
The Complainant has adduced clear, convincing and uncontested evidence that it has rights in the RATP and RATP LOGISTICS trademarks acquired through its ownership of the abovementioned registered trademarks and its substantial use of both and in particular its long use of the RATP mark since 1949. The disputed domain name consists of the RATP LOGISTICS mark in its entirety and Complainant’s RATP mark is its initial and dominant and distinctive element. The gTLD <.com> extension may be ignored for the purposes of comparison because in the circumstances of this case it would on the balance of probabilities be considered as a necessary technical element for a domain name. This Panel finds therefore that the disputed domain name is identical to the trademark RATP LOGISTICS and confusingly similar to the trademark a RATP, in which the Complainant has rights. The Complainant has therefore succeeded in the first element of the test in paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy. The Complainant has made out a prima facie case that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name alleging, that: - the Respondent is not commonly known by the disputed domain name; - the Respondent is not affiliated with nor authorized by the Complainant in any way; - the Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent; - the Complainant has not granted any license or authorization to the Respondent to make any use of the Complainant’s RATP and RATP LOGISTICS trademarks, or to apply for registration of the disputed domain name; - the screenshot of the webpage to which the disputed domain name resolves shows that the Respondent is not putting the disputed domain name to any active use but instead it resolves to a SEDO page on which the disputed domain name is offered for sale to the public for USD$ 988; and - this general offer to sell the disputed domain name evidences the Respondent’s lack of rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. As the Complainant submits that it is well established that in such circumstances, where a complainant makes out a prima facie case, the burden of production shifts to the respondent demonstrate that it has rights or legitimate interests in the domain name at issue. The Respondent has failed to discharge the burden of production and therefore this Panel must find that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. The Complainant has therefore satisfied the second element of the test in paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy. The disputed domain name is not only confusingly similar to the Complainant’s RATP mark, it is identical to the RATP LOGISTICS mark. It must be much more than a coincidence that the disputed domain name was registered on 4 April 2020, which was the day following the publication of the registration of the trademark RATP LOGISTICS by the Complainant. Given the long, strong and extensive reputation of the Complainant’s RAPT mark and the registration of the disputed domain name immediately following the publication of the RAPT LOGISTICS trademark it is most improbable that the registrant of the disputed domain name was unaware of the Complainant, its trademark and reputation. On the balance of probabilities the disputed domain name was registered in order to take predatory advantage of the Complainant’s goodwill and reputation of the RATP and RATP LOGISTICS mark. The Complainant has shown that the disputed domain name does not resolve to any active website but instead is being passively held and offered for sale to the public. This Panel finds that that the evidence shows that the disputed domain name was registered or acquired by the Respondent primarily for the purpose of selling, the disputed domain name for profit. Furthermore, looking at the totality of the circumstances in this case, and in particular the degree of distinctiveness and long-established reputation of the Complainant’s RAPT mark, the Respondent’s failure to submit a response or to provide any evidence of actual or contemplated good-faith use of the disputed domain name, the Respondent’s concealment of his identity on the published WhoIs by availing of a privacy service, and that the disputed domain name was registered on the day following the publication of the registration of the Complainant’s RAPT LOGISTICS mark, this Panel finds that on the balance of probabilities the Complainant’s passive holding of the disputed domain name and its general offer for sale, constitutes bad faith registration and use for the purposes of the Policy. The Complainant has therefore succeeded in the third and final element of the test in paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy.

Principal Reasons for the Decision

The Complainant has adduced clear, convincing and uncontested evidence that it has rights in the RATP and RATP LOGISTICS trademarks acquired through its ownership of the abovementioned registered trademarks and its substantial use of both and in particular its long use of the RATP mark since 1949.

The disputed domain name consists of the RATP LOGISTICS mark in its entirety and Complainant’s RATP mark is its initial and dominant and distinctive element. The gTLD <.com> extension may be ignored for the purposes of comparison because in the circumstances of this case it would on the balance of probabilities be considered as a necessary technical element for a domain name.

This Panel finds therefore that the disputed domain name is identical to the trademark RATP LOGISTICS and confusingly similar to the trademark a RATP, in which the Complainant has rights.

The Complainant has therefore succeeded in the first element of the test in paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy.

The Complainant has made out a prima facie case that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name alleging, that:

- the Respondent is not commonly known by the disputed domain name;

- the Respondent is not affiliated with nor authorized by the Complainant in any way;

- the Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent;

- the Complainant has not granted any license or authorization to the Respondent to make any use of the Complainant’s RATP and RATP LOGISTICS trademarks, or to apply for registration of the disputed domain name;

- the screenshot of the webpage to which the disputed domain name resolves shows that the Respondent is not putting the disputed domain name to any active use but instead it resolves to a SEDO page on which the disputed domain name is offered for sale to the public for USD$ 988; and

- this general offer to sell the disputed domain name evidences the Respondent’s lack of rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name.

As the Complainant submits that it is well established that in such circumstances, where a complainant makes out a prima facie case, the burden of production shifts to the respondent demonstrate that it has rights or legitimate interests in the domain name at issue.

The Respondent has failed to discharge the burden of production and therefore this Panel must find that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name.

The Complainant has therefore satisfied the second element of the test in paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy.

The disputed domain name is not only confusingly similar to the Complainant’s RATP mark, it is identical to the RATP LOGISTICS mark. It must be much more than a coincidence that the disputed domain name was registered on 4 April 2020, which was the day following the publication of the registration of the trademark RATP LOGISTICS by the Complainant.

Given the long, strong and extensive reputation of the Complainant’s RAPT mark and the registration of the disputed domain name immediately following the publication of the RAPT LOGISTICS trademark it is most improbable that the registrant of the disputed domain name was unaware of the Complainant, its trademark and reputation. On the balance of probabilities the disputed domain name was registered in order to take predatory advantage of the Complainant’s goodwill and reputation of the RATP and RATP LOGISTICS mark.

The Complainant has shown that the disputed domain name does not resolve to any active website but instead is being passively held and offered for sale to the public.

This Panel finds that that the evidence shows that the disputed domain name was registered or acquired by the Respondent primarily for the purpose of selling, the disputed domain name for profit.

Furthermore, looking at the totality of the circumstances in this case, and in particular the degree of distinctiveness and long-established reputation of the Complainant’s RAPT mark, the Respondent’s failure to submit a response or to provide any evidence of actual or contemplated good-faith use of the disputed domain name, the Respondent’s concealment of his identity on the published WhoIs by availing of a privacy service, and that the disputed domain name was registered on the day following the publication of the registration of the Complainant’s RAPT LOGISTICS mark, this Panel finds that on the balance of probabilities the Complainant’s passive holding of the disputed domain name and its general offer for sale, constitutes bad faith registration and use for the purposes of the Policy.

The Complainant has therefore succeeded in the third and final element of the test in paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy.
