    "factual_background": "FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nComplainant alleges that it is the number one global player in the pet and equine markets. Its products provide longer and healthier lives for companion animals. It alleges further that its mark FRONTLINE is well-known in the market as the source for the treatment and prevention of fleas, ticks and chewing lice in dogs and cats, and aids in the control of sarcoptic mange in dogs.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain names <frnotline.com>, <frontlein.com>, <frontlineapi.com>, <frontlineuse.com>, and <frontlineusing.com> constitute misspelled words of the Complainant’s registered trademark FRONTLINE. Complainant alleges that Respondent has created typosquatted domain names that resolve to websites with hyperlinks that support the conclusion that Respondent had actual knowledge of Complainant and its mark.\r\n\r\n\r\n",
    "other_legal_proceedings": "The Panel is not aware of any other legal proceedings which are pending or decided and which relate to the disputed domain names.",
    "no_response_filed": "NO ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLIANT RESPONSE HAS BEEN FILED.\r\n\r\nPARTIES' CONTENTIONS:\r\n\r\nCOMPLAINANT:\r\n\r\nComplainant submits that <frnotline.com>, <frontlein.com>, <frontlineapi.com>, <frontlineuse.com>, and <frontlineusing.com> > are confusingly similar to the FRONTLINE trademark because they incorporate typosquatting versions of the mark. It alleges that the additions of “api”, “use,” “using” to three of these domain names does not lessen the confusing similarity but enhances it.\r\n \r\nAccording to the Complainant, the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain names, because it has not been authorized by the Complainant to use the FRONTLINE trademark, and the disputed domain names do not correspond to the name of the Respondent. The Complainant adds that the Respondent does not carry out a fair or non-commercial use of the disputed domain names. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends further that the disputed domain names were registered and are being used in bad faith. According to the Complainant, the FRONTLINE trademark is distinctive and well-known around the world, and that it is evident from the hyperlinks on the landing page that the Respondent registered the disputed domain names with actual knowledge of the FRONTLINE trademark. The disputed domain names are not used for any bona fide purpose. Further, by using the disputed domain names for pay per click income, the Respondent has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to websites of competitors by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant's FRONTLINE trademark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of his website.\r\n\r\nRESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nThe Respondent did not reply to the Complainant's contentions and did not submit any arguments or evidence in its defence. In such event, UDRP Rule 14 provides (a) that the “Panel shall proceed to a decision on the complaint” and (b) that “the Panel shall draw such inferences therefrom as it considers appropriate.” \r\n",
