    "factual_background": "The Complainant was founded in 1920 and has promoted, organized and developed tennis in France. In 2019 it counted about 978 893 licensees.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant also provides representation of France in international meetings and organizes major tournaments such as the International of France at Roland Garros, also called “French Open”. The International of France at Roland Garros is the biggest tournament of the tennis season on clay and the only Grand Slam still competing on such surface.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name was registered on 7 September 2020 by a Brazilian corporation, LIFEMOND Internacional, and resolves to a parking page with commercial links (some of which are related to other well-known international tournaments).\r\n\r\nThe facts asserted by the Complainant are not contested by the Respondent.",
    "other_legal_proceedings": "The Panel is not aware of other legal proceedings which are pending or decided and which relate to the disputed domain name.\r\n",
    "no_response_filed": "COMPLAINANT’S CONTENTIONS\r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademark. Neither the addition of the generic term “BOYCOTT” to the Complainant's trademark, nor the use of the TLD “.COM” are sufficient to escape the finding that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant’s trademark or change the overall impression of the designation as being connected to such mark.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name. The Complainant affirms that the Respondent is not affiliated with nor authorized by the Complainant in any way. The Complainant 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 of the Complainant’s trademark, or apply for registration of the disputed domain name by the Complainant.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant finally contends that the registration of the disputed domain name, confusingly similar to the Complainant's well-known trademark and, thus, the constructive knowledge on behalf of the Respondent of the Complainant’s potential rights, as well as the use of the disputed domain name for a parking page with commercial links, clearly shows the Respondent’s bad faith both in the registration and in the use of the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant, therefore, requests the transfer of the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\nNO ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLIANT RESPONSE HAS BEEN FILED.",
