    "factual_background": "The Complainant is a Danish cooperative, owned by 12,650 dairy farmers in seven countries. The Complainant operates worldwide, including in Asia and specifically in China, where the Complainant promotes its activities through a Chinese website at www.arla.com.cn. The Complainant employs more than 19,000 employees and had a total turnover of 10,3 billion Euro in 2015.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant operates under the trademarks ARLA and ARLA FOODS and, in relation to a new project, has recently filed trademark applications in the US and in the EU for the trademark ARLA AND MORE. Both the ARLA and ARLA FOODS trademark registrations, and the ARLA AND MORE trademark applications, are dated before the date of registration of the disputed domain name, which occurred on 4 December 2017.\r\n\r\nPrevious Panelists in other UDRP proceedings held that the trademarks ARLA and ARLA FOODS enjoy reputation. \r\n\r\nOn 18 December 2017, the Complainant sent a cease and desist letter to the Respondent, pointing out the illegitimate use of the Complainant's trademarks and asking for the voluntary transfer of the disputed domain name. On 4 January 2018, the Complainant sent a reminder. The Respondent failed to reply to the Complainant's requests. On 18 December 2017, the Respondent changed his e-mail contact details.\r\n",
