It resolves to a website that mimics the official website of the Complainant and features its official logo.  \r\n",

    "no_response_filed": "NO ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLIANT RESPONSE HAS BEEN FILED.\r\n\r\n\r\nPARTIES' CONTENTIONS:\r\n\r\nCOMPLAINANT:\r\n\r\nThe Complainant submits that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant’s KERING trademark, as it incorporates the trademark in its entirety. According to the Complainant, the inclusion of the term “foundation” in the disputed domain name is not sufficient to escape the finding that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the KERING trademark. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name, because it is not commonly known by the disputed domain name, is not related in any way to the Complainant or to its business, and has not been authorized by the Complainant to use the KERING trademark. The Complainant points out that the disputed domain name makes reference to it and the Respondent is not making a bona fide offering of goods or services through the disputed domain name or a legitimate non-commercial or fair use of it.\r\n\r\nAccording to the Complainant, the disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith. The Complainant has registered the KERING trademark in 2012, which is several years before the registration of the disputed domain name, while the disputed domain name resolves into a website referencing to the Complainant’s foundation. In view of this, the Complaint contends that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain name with knowledge of the Complainant's KERING trademark and has intentionally attempted to attract for commercial gain Internet users to its website by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant's KERING trademark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of Respondent’s website or of a product or service on that website.\r\n\r\n\r\nRESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nThe Respondent did not reply to the Complainant's contentions and did not submit any arguments or evidence in its defense.",
