    "factual_background": "FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nThe Complainant is the owner of the NATIONAL CAR RENTAL and NATIONAL marks which it licenses to National Car Rental. Founded in 1948, National Car Rental is a premium, internationally recognized brand serving the daily rental needs of the frequent airport business travellers throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Pacific Rim. Complainant's licensee operates an online car rental site under the domain names \"nationalcar.com\" and \"nationalrentalcar.com\".\r\n\r\nThe Respondent registered the disputed domain name \"thenationalrentalcar.com\" on July 14th, 2017. By now the disputed domain name \"thenationalrentalcar.com\" does not point to any active web page. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant states that the Respondent is not affiliated with him nor authorized by him in any way, and has no right or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name and he is not related in any way to its business. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant assumes that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its registered trademarks, while the disputed domain name fully incorporates Complainant's \"NATIONAL CAR RENTAL\", merely reversing the words \"car\" and \"rental\", adding the non-distinctive preposition \"the\", and the generic top level domain identifier \".com\". The disputed domain name also fully incorporates Complainant's trademark \"NATIONAL\", merely adding \"rental car\" that describes Complainant's business and the non-distinctive preposition \"the\", and adding the generic top level domain identifier \".com\". \r\n\r\nFurthermore the Complainant assumes that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain name in bad faith, because the Respondent is using a well-known trademark and - at least for some period of time - the owner of <thenationalrentalcar.com> domain name used a privacy service to shield their identity. \r\n\r\nA copy of the WHOIS record for <thenationalrentalcar.com> from the records of the Registrar on 08 September 2017 at the time the Complaint in this matter was filed was attached. A copy of the current WHOIS record for <thenationalrentalcar.com> from the records of the Registrar was attached as well. ICANN’s Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy was also attached.",
