    "factual_background": "Complainant states that it is “the largest steel producing company in the world and is the market leader in steel for use in automotive, construction, household appliances and packaging with operations in more than 60 countries.”\r\n\r\nThe Disputed Domain Name was created on April 20, 2018, and is not being used in connection with an active website.\r\n\r\nComplainant contends, in relevant part, as follows:\r\n\r\nParagraph 4(a)(i): Complainant states that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the ARCELORMITTAL Trademark because, inter alia, “the addition of the letter ‘S’ and the omission of the letter ‘T’ in the trademark ARCELORMITTAL are not sufficient to escape the finding that the domain name is confusingly similar to the trademark and branded goods ARCELORMITTAL.”\r\n\r\nParagraph 4(a)(ii): Complainant states that Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Disputed Domain Name because, inter alia, “[t]he Respondent is not known as the disputed domain name, but as ‘BENOIT GALLON’, and has not acquired trademarks mark rights on this term”; and “[n]either licence nor authorization has been granted to the Respondent to make any use of the Complainant’s trademark ARCELORMITTAL, or apply for registration of the disputed domain name <arcelorsmital.com> by the Complainant.”\r\n\r\nParagraph 4(a)(iii): Complainant states that the Disputed Domain Name was registered and is being used in bad faith because, inter alia, “this misspelling [of the Disputed Domain Name] was intentionally designed to be confusingly similar with the Complainant’s trademarks”; “given the distinctiveness of the Complainant’s trademarks and reputation, the Complainant contends that it is inconceivable that the Respondent could have registered the disputed domain name <arcelorsmital.com> without actual knowledge of Complainant's rights in the trademark”; and “incorporation of a famous mark into a domain name, coupled with an inactive website, may be evidence of bad faith registration and use.”\r\n",
