Such domain entirely incorporates the Complainant's trademark, with the addition of the generic terms \"digital\" and \"ar\".\r\n\r\nAccording to the Complainant, the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name and is not related in any way with the Complainant’s business. The Respondent is not affiliated with Novartis, nor authorized by such company in any way. In addition, the Complainant affirms it currently 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, or apply for registration of the disputed domain name by the Complainant.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends that the disputed domain name has been registered and being used in bad faith, considering that - despite having sent a C&D letter to the Respondent - the latter did not reply and continue to passively held  <novartis-digital-ar.com>.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name points to a blank page and the Respondent did not provide any explanation concerning the registration (and the passive use) of the disputed domain name.",
