    "factual_background": "FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nThe Complainant is a French banking and insurance service group and owns several trademarks consisting of the sign “CA” in various countries throughout the world. The trademarks, on which this complaint has been based, consist of the string of letters “C” and “A” which are graphically represented in a particular way forming up a combined trademark.\r\n\r\nAccording to the Complainant, the letters “CA” refer to the acronym of the term “CREDIT AGRICOLE” and the trademarks are used as the official logo of the Complainant since many years ago. \r\n\r\nThe Respondent is an individual named Peter Shun, resident of Accra in Ghana. Any other information is known about the Respondent. The disputed domain name <ca-if.com> (the “Domain Name”), was registered on 5 September, 2019 by the Respondent and currently resolves to an error page.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant states that Respondent uses the Domain Name to pass itself off as one of the Complainant’s employees, in order to receive payments without reason, in place of the Complainant.

    "no_response_filed": "NO ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLIANT RESPONSE HAS BEEN FILED.\r\n\r\nCOMPLAINANT' CONTENTIONS:\r\n\r\nIdentical or confusingly similar\r\n\r\nThe first question that arises is whether Complainant has rights in a trademark or service mark. The next question that arises is whether the Domain Name is identical or confusingly similar to Complainant’s trademark.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant claims right in the French, EU and several national trademarks registered as designations of the international registration. All of those trademarks are combined marks consisting of a string of letter “CA” accompanied by graphical elements.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant claims that the Domain Name <ca-if.com> and the Complainant's registered trademarks CA are confusingly similar. Indeed, according to the Complainant, its trademarks are fully contained within the disputed Domain Name and a union of the last letters “IF” refers to the Complainant’s subsidiary, which uses official e-mail addresses “@ca-lf.com”, where the last two letters represents “L” and “F” and are visually highly similar to “I” and “F”.\r\n\r\nThe overall impression the Domain Name and the Complainant’s trademarks leave are considered by the Complainant as confusingly similar.\r\n\r\n\r\nNo rights or legitimate interests\r\n\r\nThe Complainant argues that there is no evidence at all that the Respondent is commonly known by the Domain Name or a name corresponding to the Domain Name, nor that the Respondent is making a bona fide offering of goods or services. Moreover, the Complainant states that the Respondent has not been licensed or otherwise authorized to use any of the Complainant’s trademark nor to apply for or use any domain name incorporating such trade marks.\r\n\r\n\r\nRegistered and used in bad faith\r\n\r\nAs far as bad faith registration is concerned, the Complainant states due to its historical presence in the market, the Respondent could not be unaware of the Complainant rights over the name CA at the time of the Domain Name registration.\r\n\r\nMoreover, the Complainant underlines that the Domain Name is used in a phishing scheme, as the Respondent attempts to pass off as one of the Complainant’s executive in order to receive payments from unaware persons.\r\n\r\n\r\nRESPONDENT'S CONTENTIONS:\r\n\r\nThe Respondent did not respond to the Complaint.\r\n",
