    "factual_background": "The Complainant is Arcelormittal S.A., a multinational steel manufacturing corporation, it is the largest steel manufacturing company in the world and the market leader in steel for use in automotive, construction, household appliances and packaging, with operations in more than 60 countries. It holds sizeable captive supplies of raw materials and operates extensive distribution networks. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant operates under the trademark ARCELORMITTAL, registered in several countries worldwide, and owns several “acelormittal“ domain names, among which <arcelormittal.com>, was registered and is used since 27 January 2006. \r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name has been registered on 25 August 2018 and is inactive since its registration.    ",
    "other_legal_proceedings": "The Panel is not aware of any information regarding other pending or decided legal proceedings relating to the disputed domain name.",
    "no_response_filed": "NO ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLIANT RESPONSE HAS BEEN FILED.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant's contentions are the following.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant's earlier ARCELORMITTAL trademark since it fully includes this trademark preceded by the generic term \"contact\", which does not prevent confusing similarity. On the contrary, the addition of this term can contribute to confusion when  associated with the ARCELORIMTTAL trademark. In that case, Internet users are induced to believe that the disputed domain name originates from the Complainant.\r\n\r\nThe Respondent lacks rights and legitimate interests in the disputed domain name since the Respondent is not linked to the Complainant, nor has any business relationship with the Complainant. Moreover, the Complainant never granted a license or authorization to the Respondent to make use of its trademark within the disputed domain name.  Lastly, the disputed domain name is inactive since its registration, which confirms that the Respondent has no demonstrable plans to use the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\nThe Respondent registered and is using the disputed domain name in bad faith. The Complainant's trademark ARCELORMITTAL is distinctive and well-known. It is therefore reasonable to infer that the disputed domain name was registered with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademark.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, the disputed domain name is inactive since its registration. The incorporation of a well-known trademark coupled with an inactive website may be evidence of bad faith registration and use, as already established in prior UDRP decisions. \r\n",
    "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).  ",
