    "factual_background": "The Complainant is a French multinational mass media conglomerate headquartered in Paris and founded on December 11, 1987. The company has activities in music, television, film, video games, telecommunications, tickets and video hosting services.\r\n\r\nToday, the Complainant has 44,142 employees in 78 countries. The Complainant’s total revenues amounted to €13,932 million worldwide in 2018.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant owns and communicates on Internet through various domain names, such as the domain name <vivendi.com> registered on November 12, 1997.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name <vivendi-offers.com> was registered on May 29, 2019 and redirects to the Complainant’s official website at <vivendi.com>.",
    "other_legal_proceedings": "The Panel is not aware of any other legal proceedings which are pending or decided and which relate to the disputed domain name.",
    "no_response_filed": "COMPLAINANT\r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends that the disputed domain name <vivendi-offers.com> is confusingly similar to the Complainant’s trademark VIVENDI, as it includes the trademark in its entirety with the mere addition of a hyphen followed by the word “offers”, which does not change the overall impression of the designation as being connected to the Complainant’s trademark. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant also states that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name since the Respondent i) is not commonly known by the disputed domain name, ii) is not affiliated with nor authorized by the Complainant in any way, iii) has not been granted by the Complainant any license or authorization to use the Complainant’s trademark VIVENDI or apply for registration of the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, the Complainant asserts that the Respondent is not making a bona fide use or legitimate non-commercial or fair use of the disputed domain name since its registration, as the disputed domain name redirects to the Complainant’s official website.\r\n\r\nLastly, the Complainant argues that, in light of the distinctiveness of the Complainant's trademarks and reputation, it is reasonable to infer that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademarks.\r\n\r\n\r\nRESPONDENT\r\n\r\nThe Respondent did not reply to the Complainant’s contentions.\r\n",
