It aims at the stimulation of trade and investment opportunities for commercial property developers, economic development agencies, and international businesses looking to connect globally and prosper locally. \r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name <worldtradecenter.com> was registered on November 2, 1996. The disputed domain name <worldtradecenter.net> was registered on May 12, 1998. The disputed domain names currently do not resolve to an active webpage. For an undefined period of time, the first disputed domain name <worldtradecenter.com> has been used to link to a memorial page for the 9\/11 attacks in 2001. It is uncontested that the disputed domain name has also been used as a parking page containing pay-per-click advertisements and that the second disputed domain name <worldtradecenter.net> redirected immediately to the first disputed domain name.

    "no_response_filed": "PARTIES' CONTENTIONS:\r\n\r\nCOMPLAINANT:\r\n\r\nThe Complainant considers the disputed domain names to be confusingly similar to trademarks in which it has rights. The Complainant claims that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain names. According to the Complainant, the Respondent does not use the disputed domain names in connection with any legitimate use. Also, according to the Complainant, the Respondent has not been commonly known by the disputed domain names. Finally, the Complainant considers that the disputed domain names were registered and are being used in bad faith. \r\n\r\nRESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nThe Respondent argues that it makes legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the disputed domain names. According to Respondent, the disputed domain names were used for non-profit, humanitarian purposes only. After the events of September 11th, a humanitarian web page was linked to the disputed domain name <worldtradecenter.com> to help with rescue efforts. In 2006, after two years of development, the website was relaunched as a non-profit memorial tribute site.",
