    "factual_background": "Complainant states that it was founded in 1920 and “promotes, organizes and develops tennis in France” and “provides representation of France in international meetings and organizes major tournaments such as the International of France at Roland Garros,” which is also known as the “French Open” since 1968.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name was created on May 13, 2018, and is being used in connection with a website that is “offering live streaming services, with sentences such as ‘Watch French Open 2018 Live Stream Online FREE’ and ‘Access your favorite French Open Championship 2018 Live Events from anywhere’.” However, Complainant states that “Respondent is not an authorized broadcaster.”\r\n\r\nComplainant contends, in relevant part, as follows:\r\n\r\nParagraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy: Complainant states that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the FRENCH OPEN Trademark because, inter alia, the disputed domain name “includes in its entirety” the FRENCH OPEN Trademark and “[t]he addition of the generic terms ‘LIVE’ and ‘FREE’ to the trademark FRENCH OPEN® and the use of the gTLD ‘.COM’ are not sufficient elements to escape the finding that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the international trademark FRENCH OPEN®.”\r\n\r\nParagraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy: Complainant states that Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name because, inter alia, “Respondent is not known as the disputed domain name”; Respondent “is not related in any way with the Complainant” and “does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent”; “[n]either licence nor authorization has been granted to the Respondent to make any use of the Complainant’s trademark FRENCH OPEN®, or apply for registration of the disputed domain name by the Complainant”; and by offering live streaming services in connection with the disputed domain name, “Respondent has registered and used the disputed domain name only in order to create a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant and its trademarks.”\r\n\r\nParagraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy: Complainant states that the disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith because, inter alia, “given the distinctiveness of the Complainant’s trademark and reputation, and the use of the Complainant’s logo and trademarks FRENCH OPEN® and ROLAND GARROS® on the website…, Complainant can state that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant’s trademark FRENCH OPEN® and uses it for the purpose of misleading and diverting Internet traffic.” \r\n",
