The disputed domain name <\tCA-1F.COM>, was registered on October 14th, 2019 by the Respondent and currently resolves to a parking page hosting sponsored links. \r\n\r\n",

    "no_response_filed": "PARTIES' CONTENTIONS:\r\n\r\nCOMPLAINANT:\r\n\r\nAs regards the First element of the Policy, the Complainant claims that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its prior trademarks \"CA\". The addition of the element \"1f\" does not exclude the finding of confusing similarity for the purposes of the UDRP. On the contrary, according to the Complainant's submissions the element \"1f\" increases the likelihood of confusion in view of its similarity with the Complainant's official email address “@ca-lf.com” \r\n\r\nFinally, the Complainant contends that TLD are disregarded when assessing confusingly similarity as they are considered as standard registration requirements.\r\n\r\nAs regards the Second element of the Policy, the Complainant denies that the Respondent has rights or legitimate interests in registering the disputed domain name. According to the Complainant, the information provided in the WHOIS exclude that the Respondent is known as the disputed domain name. Moreover, the Complainant denies to have authorized the Respondent to use the trademarks CA or to apply for registration of the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\nMoreover, the current use of the disputed domain name does not amount to a bona fide offering of goods or services nor to a legitimate non-commercial or fair use.\r\n\r\nAs regards the Third and last element of the Policy, the Complainant supports that the Respondent was aware of its rights on the CA trademark at the time of the registration of the disputed domain name. This is because the \"ca\" trademark has been used for years by the Complainant as acronym of Credit Agricole and also given the fact that the Respondent has used the disputed domain name to pass itself off as one of the Complainant’s employees, in order to receive payment in place of the Complainant.\r\n\r\n\r\nRESPONDENT: \r\n\r\nThe Respondent did not reply to the Complaint.
