The Complainant also owns various domain names and communicates on the Internet through them, the main one being <intersport.com>, registered on August 19, 1998. The Complainant also owns <intersport.fr> and uses it to resolve to its French language website directed at consumers in France.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name, registered on February 12, 2021, is confusingly similar to the Complainant’s trademark as it incorporates the entirety of the INTERSPORT name and merely adds the descriptive geographic abbreviation „fr“ for „France“ plus the .com TLD. Although there is no website that resolves from the disputed domain name, the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the domain name as it is not authorized to use the Complainant’s trademark, it is not commonly known by any related name, and it is not making a bona fide or fair use of the domain name. Further, the Respondent’s use of the disputed domain name to resolve to an inactive webpage is evidence that registration and use of the same were made in bad faith.    ",
