    "factual_background": "The Complainant carries on a business under the mark BABBEL which is a global leader for online language learning services. The Complainant operates a website at <www.babbel.com> and promotes its services by an online magazine called \"Babbel Magazine\".\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name was previously directed to a website that purported to promote a business called \"Mendy's Pet Care Service\" which did not exist. It no longer locates any website.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant sent cease and desist letters to the Respondent on 11 January 2018 and 15 March 2018, to which it did not receive any reply.  ",
    "other_legal_proceedings": "The Panel is not aware of any other proceedings which relate to the disputed domain name.",
    "no_response_filed": "No administratively compliant Response has been filed. ",
    "rights": "The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy). \r\n\r\nThe Panel finds that the Complainant has registered and unregistered rights in the mark BABBEL. The disputed domain name differs from the mark only in the addition of the descriptive word \"magazine\" and the generic top level domain. Members of the public are obviously likely to assume that the disputed domain name locates a page relating to the Complainant, and in particular to its established magazine.\r\n\r\n",
    "no_rights_or_legitimate_interests": "The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Respondent to have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy).\r\n\r\nThe Complainant affirms in its Complaint that the Respondent has no right, title, permission, licence or any other legal right to use the Complainant's name, business assets, or the names \"babbel\" or \"babbelmagazine\". The Complainant also states that the disputed domain name previously located a website that purported to promote a non-existent business and now does not locate any website. These statements are not disputed.\r\n\r\nIt is clear from the information filed that the Respondent has not used or made preparations to use the disputed domain name for a bona fide offering of goods or services, is not commonly known by the disputed domain name or any corresponding name, and is not making any legitimate non-commercial or fair use of it.  ",
    "bad_faith": "The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown that the disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy).\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name must have been intended to refer to the Complainant's magazine and business. It is clear from the use made of it to date that the Respondent had no intention of using it for any legitimate purpose, and the Panel infers that the Respondent's purpose was either to disrupt or threaten to disrupt the Complainant's business or to operate some kind of scam.

The Complaint also refers to registrations of a device mark + babbel, but it is not necessary to consider these further in order to decide this case.  ",
