    "factual_background": "FACTS ASSERTED BY COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY RESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nAccording to the evidence submitted by Complainant, Complainant is a French industrial group founded in 1871 with an international dimension, which manufactures and offers products of power management. \r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name <ipo-schneider-electric.com> was registered on 1 July 2016 and is held by Respondent.\r\n\r\nAccording to the information provided by Complainant the disputed domain name redirects to the website of Complainant.   \r\n\r\nThe trademark registration of Complainant has been issued prior to the registration of the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\nAccording to Complainant the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to Complainant's trademark. The addition of the term “ipo”, the gTLD \".com\" and the dash \"-\" is not sufficient to escape the finding that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademark and it does not change the overall impression of the designation as being connected to the trademark of Complainant. \r\n\r\nAccording to Complainant, Respondent has no rights or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name. Respondent is not related in any way with the business of Complainant. Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with Respondent. Given the distinctive character of the disputed domain name, Respondent could not have used it without harming Complainant's prior rights. According to the disclosure of registrant by the Registrar, Respondent is identified as “Schneider Electric”. Complainant contends that Respondent attempts to pass itself off as Complainant. Further, the website in relation with the disputed domain name points to Complainant’s website. By using the disputed domain name a likelihood of confusion with Complainant is created. Use of the disputed domain name to pass off as Complainant is not considered a bona fide offering of goods and services or a legitimate non-commercial or fair use. \r\n\r\nAccording to Complainant the disputed domain name is registered and is being used in bad faith. Given the distinctiveness of Complainant's trademark and its reputation, it is reasonable to infer that Respondent has registered the disputed domain name with full knowledge of Complainant's trademark. The disputed domain name redirects to Complainant’s website. Redirection to a complainant’s own website, by a domain name that contains its trademark, is typically considered bad faith use of the domain name. According to Complainant Respondent registered and uses the disputed domain name in bad faith as Respondent attempts to attract Internet users to the disputed domain name by creating a likelihood of confusion among Internet users by passing itself off as Complainant for commercial gain.\r\n",
