    "factual_background": "FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nThe Complainant SOCIETE DU FIGARO S.A. operates a French national daily newspaper (LE FIGARO). The company covers foreign and domestic politics, the economy, sport, science, medicine and the arts. The company was founded in 1826 and is based in Paris, France. LE FIGARO is the second-largest national newspaper in France after Le Parisien and before Le Monde.\r\n\r\nIn consideration of the above \"LE FIGARO\" is a well-known trademark all over the world; previous decisions rendered by WIPO recognized that \"LE FIGARO\" is a distinctive trademark\r\n\r\nThe Complainant is the owner of different trademarks and domain names consisting of the wording LE FIGARO. \r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name <lefigaro.club>  was registered on  May 7, 2015 by the Respondent. The website corresponding to the domain name in dispute consists of a parking page with pay per click links connected to the Complainant's business.  Furthermore the contested domain name appears listed for sale on the Sedo platform for USD 1.980.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant states that the disputed domain name <lefigaro.club> is identical to the Complainant's trademark \"LE FIGARO\" and to the Complainant's domain names including this wording.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant states that the Respondent is not affiliated with him nor authorized by him in any way. The Complainant states that the Respondent has no right nor legitimate interest in the disputed domain name and it is not related in any way to its business. The Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent. The Respondent is not commonly known by LE FIGARO or by other names similar to the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\nThe website corresponding to <lefigaro.club> consists of a parking page with pay per click links related to Complainant's business and therefore Complainant assumes that the Respondent has registered the domain name to attract, for commercial gain, internet users to its website by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant's trademark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement of Respondent's website. \r\n\r\nIn addition, given the distinctiveness of the Complainant's trademark and reputation, it is reasonable to infer that the Respondent has registered the domain name with the full knowledge of the Complainant's trademarks.\r\n\r\nFinally, the Respondent was also the respondent in a previous domain name dispute proceedings in relation to third party trademarks:  NAF - 1465675 - Key Energy Services, LLC v. Magnum Domains - <keyenergy.co>. ",
