PARTIES' CONTENTIONS:
COMPLAINANT:
The Complainant contends that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Trademark as the addition of the geographic term "KOREA" does not prevent the likelihood of confusion between the disputed domain name and the Trademark.
Furthermore, the Complainant contends that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. In this regard, the Complainant states that the Respondent is not known by the disputed domain name, that the Respondent is not related in any way with the Complainant, that the Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent, that the Complainant has not granted any license or authorization to the Respondent to make any use of the Trademark, and that the Respondent's use of the disputed domain name is no bona fide offering of goods or services or a legitimate non-commercial or fair use under the Policy.
Finally, the Complainant contends that the disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith. In this regard, the Complainant argues that the Trademark is highly distinctive and has a high reputation and that it is reasonable to infer that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Trademark. The Complainant also states that the Respondent is capitalizing on the Trademark by using the disputed domain name in connection with a website featuring pay-per-click links to third parties websites.

No administratively compliant Response has been filed.
