    "no_response_filed": "PARTIES' CONTENTIONS:\r\n\r\nCOMPLAINANT:\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain names are confusingly similar to the trademarks owned by the Complainant. The addition of the letters, words and numbers at the start or end of the domain name is not sufficient to exclude the confusing similarity test as the trademark “DAFA” is entirely contained in all disputed domain names. \r\n\r\nThe Respondent is not connected with the Complainant nor authorized to use\/register the trademark “DAFA” as part of a domain name. Furthermore, the Respondent is using the Complainant’s graphics, images, designs, contents and logo and  this may get internet users to think that the disputed domain names are affiliated to the Complainant.\r\n\r\nDisputed domain names were registered in bad faith as the Respondent was aware of the Complainant’s rights on the trademarks “DAFA” and “DAFABET” due to prior rights, reputation of the trademark and contents of the websites. \r\n   \r\nThe Respondent used the domain names in bad faith as the websites to which the domain names are linked were clones of the Complainant’s website. Furthermore, the Respondent was involved in a recent UDRP case against the Respondent (CAC no. 101053) where the Panelist found that the domain names involved were infringing the Complainant’s trademark rights.\r\n\r\nRESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nNo administratively compliant Response was filed.\r\n",
