    "no_response_filed": "COMPLAINANT:\r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX mark on the basis that the disputed domain name wholly incorporates the Complainant’s trademark and the addition of a common generic term “debt” and an intentional misspelling of “forgiveness” by omitting the letter “f” in the disputed domain name, and generic top-level domain name suffix (“gTLD”) “.com” are insufficient to avoid the finding that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX 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 is not commonly known by the disputed domain name and has not used the disputed domain name in connection with bona fide offering of goods or services. \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 UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX mark at the time of registration of the disputed domain name. The Complainant also asserts that the Respondent is attempting to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to the Respondent’s website, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant’s mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of the Respondent’s website or of a product or service on the Respondent’s website.\r\n\r\n\r\nRESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nThe Respondent did not reply to the Complainant’s contentions.\r\n",
