The Complainant’s trademark BOEHRINGER-INGELHEIM® is distinctive and well-known. Past Panels have confirmed the notoriety of the Complainant’s trademarks, namely:\r\n- WIPO Case No. D2019-0208, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG v. Marius Graur (“Because of the very distinctive nature of the Complainant’s trademark [BOEHRINGER-INGELHEIM] and its widespread and longstanding use and reputation in the relevant field, it is inconceivable that the Respondent registered the disputed domain name without being aware of the Complainant’s legal rights.”);\r\n- CAC Case No. 102274, BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM PHARMA GMBH & CO.KG v. Karen Liles (“In the absence of a response from Karen Liles and given the reputation of the Complainant and its trademark (see, among others, WIPO Case No. D2016-0021, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co.KG v. Kate Middleton), the Panel infers that the Respondent had the Complainant's trademarks BOEHRINGER-INGELHEIM in mind when registering the disputed domain name.”).\r\n\r\nThe misspelling in the trademark BOEHRINGER-INGELHEIM®, i.e. the addition of the “L” and the deletion of the hyphen, is not sufficient to escape the finding of confusing similarity, prima facie lack of any legitimate interest, and moreover bad faith, also given Complainant's use of the  <boehringeringelheimequinerebates.com> registered and used since August 13th, 2019.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n",
