Intesa Sanpaolo is the company resulting from the merger (effective as of January 1, 2007) between Banca Intesa S.p.A. and Sanpaolo IMI S.p.A., two of the top Italian banking groups.\r\n\r\nIntesa Sanpaolo is among the top banking groups in the euro zone, with a market capitalisation exceeding 46,4 billion euro, and leader in Italy in many business areas (retail, corporate and wealth management). Thanks to a network of approximately 3,900 branches capillary and well distributed throughout the country, with market shares of more than 13% in most Italian regions, the Group offers its services to approximately 11.1 million customers. Intesa Sanpaolo has a strong presence in Central-Eastern Europe with a network of approximately 1.100 branches and over 7,7 million customers. Moreover, the international network specialised in supporting corporate customers is present in 27 countries, in particular in the Mediterranean area and those areas where Italian companies are most active, such as the United States, Russia, China and India. The Complainant is widely known among consumers as “INTESA”.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant is the owner of the following domain names: <INTESA.COM>, <INTESA.INFO>, <INTESA.BIZ>, <INTESA.ORG>, <INTESA.US>, <INTESA.EU>, <INTESA.CN>, <BANCAINTESA.COM>, <BANCAINTESA.NET>, <BANCAINTESA.EU> and many others. All of them have been registered before the disputed domain name and they are now connected to the official website <intesasanpaolo.com>.\r\n\r\nOn June 1, 2016, the Respondent registered the disputed domain name <INTESA-INTESA.COM>.\r\n\r\nThe Respondent is not commonly known by the name \"INTESA-INTESA\" and had no known rights to the name.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name was used by the Respondent to connect to a website containing links to various banking and financial service providers, including the Complainant's competitors.\r\n\r\nOn July 5, 2017, the Complainant’s attorneys sent to the Respondent a cease and desist letter, asking for the voluntary transfer of the disputed domain name to their client.
