    "factual_background": "According to the Complaint, Sidel International AG is a world leading provider of production equipment and services for liquids in PET, can and glass, and for packaging beverages enjoyed by millions of consumers around the world every day. In 2017, the Complainant reached 1,4 billion euros in global net sales and over 5 thousand employees in more than 80 countries.\r\n\r\nDue to its extensive use, advertising and revenues associated with the Complainant's trademarks worldwide, said trademarks enjoy a high degree of renown in many countries, including in the US where the Respondent is located. In the US, the Complainant has a strong presence, including with a dedicated website, at <sidelsystems.com>.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant is the owner of several domain names containing the trademark SIDEL, such as <sidel.com>, created in 2016 and <sidel.us>, created in 2012. The Complainant uses these domain names to connect to a website through which it informs potential customers about its SIDEL trademark and its products and services.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name was registered on September 6, 2018.\r\n\r\n",
    "other_legal_proceedings": "The Panel is not aware of other legal proceedings, either pending or decided, relating to the disputed domain name.",
    "no_response_filed": "NO ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLIANT RESPONSE HAS BEEN FILED.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the SIDEL trademark as it fully incorporates it, followed by a hyphen and a generic term \"grovp\", which is likely to be an intended typo of the word \"group\".\r\n\r\nThe Complainant further contends that the Respondent lacks rights and legitimate interests in the disputed domain name as it does not appear that the Respondent is commonly known by the disputed domain name, or has an interest over the disputed domain name or over the term \"sidel\". The disputed domain name is not associated with an active website; therefore, there is no evidence proving that the Respondent is using the disputed domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods and services.\r\n\r\nLastly, the Complainant contends that the Respondent registered and used the disputed domain name in bad faith, in view of the fact that the trademark SIDEL is highly distinctive and well-known, that the Respondent failed to reply to a cease and desist letter of the Complainant and subsequent reminders, and that any good faith use of the disputed domain name would be implausible. ",
    "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).",
    "no_rights_or_legitimate_interests": "The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Respondent to have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy).",
    "bad_faith": "The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy).",
    "procedural_factors": "The Panel is satisfied that all procedural requirements under UDRP were met and there is no other reason why it would be inappropriate to provide a decision.",
