    "factual_background": "FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nThe Complainant is a French multinational mass media conglomerate with its headquarters in Paris, France. Its activities include the production of music, television, film and video games. In 2017, its worldwide revenues amounted to €12,444 million worldwide. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant trades as VIVENDI and owns many trade marks to protect this trading style including the mark in respect of which full details are given above. It also owns a large number of domain names which comprise or include its trade marks, including <vivendi.com>, which resolves to its principal website.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name was registered on November 27, 2020. It resolves to a webpage which contains a notice stating: “The domain name is for sale”. \r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name is identical to the Complainant’s VIVENDI trade mark as it exactly reproduces it without any addition or alteration. \r\n\r\nThe Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name. The Respondent is not known by the disputed domain name nor is it affiliated with, or authorised by, the Complainant in any way. Moreover, no licence or authorization has been granted to the Respondent to make any use of the Complainant’s trade marks or to register the disputed domain name. The disputed domain name is being offered for sale and the Respondent has not shown any demonstrable plan to use it.  \r\n\r\nThe Respondent has registered and is using the disputed domain name in bad faith. Given the distinctiveness of the Complainant’s trade marks and reputation it is reasonable to infer that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant’s trade marks. See for example Ferrari S.p.A. v. American Entertainment Group, Inc, WIPO Case No. D2004-0673. Since its registration the disputed domain name has been offered for sale and offering to sell the disputed domain name so soon after registration can demonstrate bad faith under the circumstances described at paragraphs 4(b)(i) and (iv) of the Policy.\r\n",

    "no_rights_or_legitimate_interests": "The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Respondent to have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy).",
