    "factual_background": "The Complainant, EXPANSCIENCE, is a French family-owned pharmaceutical and demo-cosmetics laboratory which has been developing its expertise for more than 70 years. It develops and manufactures innovative osteoarthritis and skincare products, including two leading brands – Piasclédine 300 and Mustela – which are sold in nearly 120 countries. The Complainant counts 16 subsidiaries all around the world and had more than 266,9 million euros of turnover in 2019. 71% of the company’s turnover has been generated by international business.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name, <expanscience-ingredients.com>, was registered on June 7, 2020 and resolved to a pornographic webpage.\r\n\r\nCOMPLAINANT:\r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the EXPANSCIENCE mark on the basis that the disputed domain name wholly incorporates the Complainant’s trademark and the addition of the term “INGREDIENTS” and gTLD “.com” are insufficient to avoid the finding that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its EXPANSCIENCE mark.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant also argues that the Respondent does not have any rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. The Respondent was not identified in the WhoIs database prior to verification by the registrar. In addition, the Respondent is not affiliated with the Complainant nor did the Complainant license or authorize the Respondent to use the EXPANSCIENCE mark.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant further asserts that the disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith as the Respondent should have known of the Complainant’s EXPANSCIENCE mark at the time of registration of the disputed domain name. The Complainant also asserts that redirection of disputed domain name to a pornographic website is evidence of bad faith registration and use.\r\n\r\nRESPONDENT:\r\nThe Respondent did not reply to the Complainant’s contentions.\r\n",
