Respondent redirects the french-open.org domain name to Complainant's website rolandgarros.com. Therefore the Complainant argues that Respondent has no legitimate interest in the domain name, and registers and uses it in bad faith.",

By registering and using a domain name corresponding to a well-known mark, to forward internet users to the mark owner’s alternate website, the Respondent demonstrates knowledge of the mark and shows no legitimate purpose for registering or using it in the Domain Name. Such use is not bona fide.",
    "bad_faith": "The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Domain Name has been registered and is being used in bad faith (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(iii)of the Policy). By registering and use a domain name corresponding to a well-known mark, to forward internet users to the mark owner’s alternate website, the Respondent demonstrates knowledge of the mark and that it was registered and is being used in bad faith.  Such use is in bad faith because it hijacks internet traffic for the potential benefit of the Respondent, and precludes Complainant from beneficial use of the domain in its own discretion.",
