    "factual_background": "FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nI.  The Complainant states that the disputed domain name <acelormital.com> is confusingly similar to its trademark ARCELORMITTAL. The trademark ARCELORMITTAL is included in its entirety. The deletion of the letter “R” in the word “Arcelor” and the letter “T” in the word “Mittal” is not sufficient to escape the finding that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the trademark and branded goods ARCELORMITTAL and that is a clear case of typosquatting by an obvious misspelling of the Complainant’s trademark. Thus, the disputed domain name <acelormital.com> is confusingly similar to Complainant’s trademark ARCELORMITTAL.\r\n\r\nII. The Complainant asserts that the Respondent is not known in the WHOIS database by the disputed domain name. The Respondent was not commonly known by a disputed domain name because the Whois information was not similar to the disputed domain name. The Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name <acelormital.com> and is not related in any way with the Complainant. The Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent. Neither license nor authorization has been granted to the Respondent to make any use of the Complainant’s trademark ARCELORMITTAL, or apply for registration of the disputed domain name by the Complainant. Furthermore, the disputed domain name redirects to commercial links in relation to the Complainant. Thus, the Respondent has no right or legitimate interest in respect of the disputed domain name <acelormital.com>.\r\n\r\nIII. The Complainant contends that the misspelling of the trademark ARCELORMITTAL was intentionally designed to be confusingly similar with the disputed domain name <acelormital.com>. Given the distinctiveness of the Complainant's trademark and reputation, it is reasonable to infer that the Respondent has registered the domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademark. Furthermore, the disputed domain name redirects to commercial links in relation to the Complainant. The Complainant contends that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain intentionally to attempt to attract for commercial gain the Internet users to its website by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant’s widely used mark. Thus, this amounts to bad faith of the Respondent.\r\n\r\n",
