According to the Complainant, the disputed domain name is virtually identical to the trademark JCDECAUX replacing only the letter “c” with the letter “p”. This practice is commonly referred to as typosquatting and is confusingly similar to Complainant’s trademark. \r\n\r\nIn addition, the Complainant contends the addition of a gTLD “.com” is not sufficient to escape the finding that the domain is confusingly similar to the trademarks and does not change the overall impression of the designation as being connected to a trademark of the Complainant.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, the Complainant claims the Respondent does not have any rights or legitimate interest in the domain name and is not in any way related to the JCDecaux’s business.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends that the Respondent is not affiliated with nor authorized by JCDecaux SA in any way.\r\n\r\nJCDecaux SA does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent.\r\n\r\nThe Respondent is not commonly known under the denomination “JPDECAUX”. The Respondent works in the web hosting industry. \r\n\r\nThe web site www.jpdecaux.com displays a content in relation to the Complainant’s business: “Airport Advertising, Billboard Advertising, Street Furniture and Transport Advertising”. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends that the Respondent, by using the domain name, has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to its website or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with Complainant’s mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of its website or location or of a product or service on its website or location. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends that the domain name constitutes a typosquatting variant of Complainant’s trademark. Moreover, the website in connection with the dispute domain name displays a content in relation with the Complainant’s business.\r\n\r\nFurther, the likelihood of confusion has to be appreciated globally, taking account of all relevant factors and the more distinctive the earlier mark the greater would be the likelihood of confusion. Where the association between the domain name and the trademark would cause the end user to believe wrongly that the respective services came from the same or economically linked undertakings, there would be a likelihood of confusion. \r\n\r\nOn those facts, the Complaint contends that the Respondent intentionally has attempted to attract for commercial gain Internet users to Respondent's web by profiting of the notoriety of the Complainant and his trademark.",
