    "factual_background": "The Complainant was founded in 1822 and is one of the 500 largest companies in the world, being also listed on the Paris Stock Exchange.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant is active in the fields of Transportation and Logistics, Communication and Media, Electricity Storage and Solutions. In addition to its activities, the Bolloré Group manages a number of financial assets including plantations and financial investments. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant operates its main website at the domain name <bollore.com>, registered on July 25, 1997.\r\n\r\nThe Disputed domain name <bollore1us.com> was registered on March 13, 2017, and is not used in connection with an active website.\r\n",
    "other_legal_proceedings": "The Panel is not aware of any other legal proceedings which are pending or decided and which relate to the Disputed domain name.",
    "no_response_filed": "PARTIES' CONTENTIONS\r\n\r\nTHE COMPLAINANT\r\n\r\nThe Complainant states that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademark as it differs from it only for the addition of the letters \"us\" to the Complainant’s trademark, the number “1” and the gTLD suffix \".com\". \r\n\r\nThe Complainant also contends that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the Disputed domain name since the Respondent is not known by the Complainant, is not affiliated with nor authorized by the Complainant in any way and does not have any business with the Complainant. The Complainant also underlines that it has not granted any license to the Respondent to make any use of its trademark, or apply for the registration of the Disputed domain name. The Complainant also submits that the fact that the Disputed domain name has been pointed to an inactive website since its registration demonstrates the Respondent’s lack of legitimate interests in respect of the Disputed domain name.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant claims that the Respondent registered the disputed domain name in bad faith since, given the distinctiveness and reputation of the Complainant's trademark, it is reasonable to infer that the Respondent registered the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademark. In addition, a Google search on the term BOLLORE displays several results, all of them being related to the Complainant and its trademark. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant also highlights that it has a strong worldwide presence, with many locations in United States, such as Washington, Miami, Chicago or Los Angeles.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant submits that the Respondent registered the disputed domain name with the sole aim at creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant’s trademark and domain names. \r\n\r\nAs to the Respondent’s lack of use of the Disputed domain name, the Complainant states that there is no evidence of any actual or contemplated good faith use of the Disputed domain name by the Respondent, and that the Respondent could not have used the Disputed domain name without infringing the Complainant’s intellectual property rights. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant concludes that the Respondent is passively holding the Disputed domain name and at the same time depriving the trademark owner of reflecting its own trademark in the Disputed domain name.\r\n\r\nTHE RESPONDENT\r\n\r\nThe Respondent did not reply to the Complainant’s contentions.\r\n",
