    "factual_background": "FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name contains Complainant's trademark ECCO in full, together with generic and neutral terms, whose meaning is related to Complainant's business. Therefore, the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to Complainant's trademark (Policy, Par. 4 (a)(1)).\r\n\r\nRespondent has no rights in the trademark ECCO and is not a reseller\/licensee of Complainant, use of the trademark ECCO by Respondent has never been authorized by Complainant, and Respondent is using his website to promote the sale of goods which are very likely counterfeit. Accordingly, Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name (policy, Par. 4 (a)(11)).\r\n\r\nECCO constitutes the dominant element of the disputed domain name. Complainant’s logo and pictures taken from Complainant's website and catalogue are used by the Respondent, who is attempting to divert Internet users to his domain name by creating a likelihood of confusion with Complainant’s trademarks, company name and domain names. Respondent is exploiting the goodwill attached to Complainant's trademarks for selling goods which are very likely counterfeit. For all these reasons, Complainant finds that the disputed domain name was registered and is used in bad faith (Policy, Par. 4(a)(iii)).\r\n\r\nIn all the aforementioned circumstances, Complainant finds that the disputed domain name has been registered and is used in bad faith. \r\n\r\nCAC’s and WIPO’s decisions in the following complaint proceedings support the case:\r\n\r\nCAC:\r\nCase No. 100259, ECCOSHOESSHOP.COM\r\nCase No. 100278, ECCOSHOESUK.NET\r\nCase No. 100311, UKECCOSHOES.NET\r\nCase No. 100321, ECCOSKOUDSALG.COM\r\nCase No. 100312, ECCOSALEONLINE.COM\r\nCase No. 100305, ECCOONLINESALE.COM\r\n\r\nWIPO:\r\nCase No. D2010-2038, ECCODISCOUNT.COM \r\n(http:\/\/www.wipo.int\/amc\/en\/domains\/search\/text.jsp?case=D2010-2038) \r\nCase No. D2010-1443, ECCOBRANDSHOP.COM, ECOOSHOP.COM\r\nhttp:\/\/www.wipo.int\/amc\/en\/domains\/search\/text.jsp?case=D2010-1443)\r\nCase No. D2010-1113, 51ECCO.COM\r\n(http:\/\/www.wipo.int\/amc\/en\/domains\/search\/text.jsp?case=D2010-1113)\r\nCase No. D2010-0650, ECCOSHOESOUTLET.COM, ECCOSHOESOUTLETS.COM, ECCOSHOESOUTLETS.NET \r\n(http:\/\/www.wipo.int\/amc\/en\/domains\/decisions\/text\/2010\/d2010-0650.html) \r\n\r\nLanguage of the proceedings.\r\nThe Complainant respectfully requests that the language of the proceedings be English. The disputed domain name includes the English words THE and SHOES. Furthermore, the text on the website of the Respondent is all in English.

However, in view of the circumstances of the case, including the undisputed allegations of the Complainant that the website corresponding to the disputed domain name is entirely in English, and the fact that Respondent has been given a fair chance to object but has not done so, the Panel determines in accordance with paragraph 11(a) of the UDRP Rules that the language of the proceeding be English.
