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 “arcelormittal“ domain names, among which <arcelormittal.com>, which was registered and is used since 27 January 2006.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name <arcelorrnlttal.com> was registered on 6 December 2018 and resolves to an inactive webpage. \r\n",
    "other_legal_proceedings": "The Panel is not aware of other pending or decided legal proceedings, which relate 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 contains an obvious misspelling of the Complainant’s trademark.  The addition of the letters “RNL” instead of “MI” in the Complainant’s trademark is insufficient to avoid confusing similarity. Therefore, the disputed domain name is a clear case of typosquatting. Previous UDRP Panels have found that slight spelling variations do not prevent a disputed domain name from being confusing similar to the Complainant’s trademark.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant further contends that the Respondent lacks rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name for a number of reasons.\r\n\r\nFirst, the Complainant’s asserts that the Respondent has no relationships with the Complainant. The Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with, the Respondent. The Respondent is not a Complainant’s licensee, nor has ever been authorised to make use of the Complainant’s trademark or to apply for the registration of the disputed domain name. Also, the Respondent does not appear to be commonly known by the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant’s further asserts that disputed domain name is a typosquatted version of the ARCELORMITTAL trademark. Typosquatting is an attempt to take advantage of Internet users’ typographical errors and can be evidence of the Respondent’s lack of rights or legitimate interests in a domain name. \r\n\r\nLastly, the Complainant points out that the disputed domain name resolves to an inactive webpage, which is further evidence of the Respondent’s lack of rights or legitimate interests.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant argues that the disputed domain name has been registered, and is been used in bad faith.  \r\nThe Complainant’s maintains that its ARCELORMITTAL trademark is well-known and therefore, that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant’s trademark. Furthermore, the disputed domain name is a form of typosquatting. Typosquatting is also evidence of bad faith.",
    "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).",
