It designs, manufactures and markets innovative solutions for baking, food taste and pleasure, health care, and biotechnology.  The Complainant is a multi-national company originally established in northern France in 1853 and now employs 10,700 people in 50 countries.

As at the date of the Amended Complaint and of this decision, the disputed domain name resolves to a parking page with commercial pay-per-click (PPC) links.  There is also a tag line stating “Interested in gnoslslesaffre.com?  Our Domain Broker Service may be able to get it for you.  Find out how”.\r\n",

    "procedural_factors": "The Panel notes that, by way of non-standard communication dated 2 October 2020, the case administrator reported “Please be aware that neither the written notice of the Complaint nor the advice of delivery thereof was returned to the Czech Arbitration Court. The CAC is therefore unaware if the written notice was received by the Respondent or not.  As far as the e-mail notice is concerned, the e-mail notice sent in English to <postmaster@GNOSLSLESAFFRE.COM> was returned back undelivered as the e-mail address had permanent fatal errors - (please find the confirmation enclosed). An e-mail in English was sent to the respondent, but the delivery note was not returned back.  No further e-mail address could be found on the disputed site (please find the screenshot enclosed).  The Respondent never accessed the online platform.”\r\n\r\nOn enquiry by the Panel, the case administrator confirmed that, on 10 September 2020, written notice of the proceedings was additionally also sent to the Respondent at president@copperascove.com but that no delivery receipt was sent back to the email address of CAC.  \r\n\r\nThe Panel is therefore satisfied that the CAC gave notice of the proceedings to the Respondent by all available means anticipated by paragraph 2(a)(ii) of the UDRP Rules, including electronically to the e-mail address identified by the Respondent when registering the disputed domain name, that all procedural requirements under UDRP were met and there is no other reason why it would be inappropriate to provide a decision.",
