    "factual_background": "The Complainant states that it is “an international banking group with a presence in 72 countries, and one of the largest banks in the world… [w]ith more than 198,816 employees and €8.2 billion in net profit.”  The Complainant also states that it is the registrant of the domain name <bnpparibas.com> (created September 2, 1999).\r\n\r\nThe Disputed Domain Name was created on June 4, 2020, and is not being used in connection with an active website.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends, in relevant part, as follows:\r\n\r\nParagraph 4(a)(i): The Complainant states that the Disputed Domain Name is confusingly similar to the BNP PARIBAS Trademark because, inter alia, “the trademark BNP PARIBAS is misspelled in the disputed domain name” and “[t]he deletion of the letter ‘N’ is not sufficient to avoid the likelihood of confusion with the Complainant’s trademark” because “[t]his is a clear case of ‘typosquatting’.”\r\n\r\nParagraph 4(a)(ii): The Complainant states that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Disputed Domain Name because, inter alia, “Respondent is not known as the disputed domain name in the Whois database, and has not acquired trademarks mark rights on this term”; “Respondent… is not related in any way to the Complainant’s business”; and “Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent.”\r\n\r\nParagraph 4(a)(iii): The Complainant states that the Disputed Domain Name was registered and is being used in bad faith because, inter alia, “[p]rior UDRP panels have established that the trademark BNP PARIBAS is well-known”, so “given the distinctiveness of the Complainant’s trademarks and reputation, it is inconceivable that the Respondent could have registered the disputed domain name <bpparibas.info> without actual knowledge of Complainant’s rights in the trademark, which evidences bad faith”; and “it is not possible to conceive of any plausible actual or contemplated active use of the domain name by the Respondent that would not be illegitimate, such as by being a passing off, an infringement of consumer protection legislation, or an infringement of the Complainant’s rights under trademark law.”\r\n",
