    "factual_background": "The Complainant, AMUNDI ASSET MANAGEMENT, is Europe's number one asset manager measured by assets under management, and has offices in 37 countries in Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle-East and the Americas. With €1,425 billion in assets under management and over 100 million retail, institutional and corporate clients, the Complainant ranks in the global top 10.\r\nThe Complainant is also the owner of domain names containing the trademark AMUNDI, such as the domain name <amundi.com>, registered and used since August 26, 2004 and the domain name <amundi-ee.com>, registered and used since September 24, 2009.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name <amundee-ee.com> was registered on April 30, 2010 and redirects to a parking page with commercial links relating to the Complainant’s activity. \r\nThe disputed domain name is also offered for sale, as indicated on the parking page and in the related WhoIs entry.\r\n",

    "no_response_filed": "FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:\r\n\r\n\r\nPARTIES' CONTENTIONS:\r\n\r\nCOMPLAINANT:\r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends that:\r\n1. The disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant's trademark.\r\nThe Complainant contends that the disputed domain name <amundee-ee.com> is confusingly similar to its trademarks \"AMUNDI”.  The Complainant further contends that this is a clear case of typo-squatting. The disputed domain name contains an obvious misspelling of the Complainant’s trademark AMUNDI and that the substitution of the “I” by the “EE” in the trademark AMUNDI is not sufficient to exclude the likelihood of confusion. Moreover, the Complainant contends that the addition of the letters “EE” (in French for “Epargne Entreprise” – i.e. a savings company) and the generic Top-Level Domain suffix “.com” does not change the overall impression of the disputed domain name as being connected to the trademark AMUNDI.\r\n2. The Respondent does not have any rights or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name\r\nThe Complainant contends that the Respondent is not commonly known by the disputed domain name and that the Respondent is not affiliated with or authorized by the Complainant in any way. The Complainant contends that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name, and that the Respondent has no links to the Complainant’s business. The Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor does it have any business dealings with, the Respondent.\r\n3. The disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith\r\nThe Complainant contends that the AMUNDI trademark is well-known, and that the Respondent knew or should have known the same.\r\nThe Complainant further contends that:\r\n- The disputed domain name is a clear case of typo-squatting; \r\n- The use of the Complainant’s trademark in the disputed domain name gives rise to the inference that the Respondent registered the disputed domain name to attract internet users for commercial gain to its own website;\r\n- The Respondent does not make any legitimate use of the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\n\r\nRESPONDENT: \r\n\r\n\r\nNO ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLIANT RESPONSE HAS BEEN FILED.\r\n\r\n",
