    "factual_background": "FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:\r\nThe Complainant is a substantial asset manager with offices in 36 countries. It has over €1.71 trillion  in assets under management and over 100 million retail, institutional and corporate clients. The Complainant owns several trade marks for AMUNDI, including the mark referenced above. In addition, the Complainant owns the domain name <amundi.com>, which resolves to its primary website, as well as other domain names comprising or including its AMUNDI trade mark.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name was registered on March 9, 2021. It resolves to a holding page which contains the following wording: “A New WordPress Site. Coming Soon!”.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name incorporates the Complainant’s AMUNDI trade mark in its entirety and simply adds the words “ass” (an abbreviation for “asset”) and “management”. The addition of these terms is insufficient to avoid the likelihood of confusion. \r\n\r\nThe Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name. The Respondent is not commonly known by the disputed domain name. The Respondent is not affiliated with, nor authorised by, the Complainant in any way, nor is it licensed to use the Complainant’s name or mark.  Having regard to the fact that the disputed domain name resolves to a holding page, the Respondent has not shown any activity in respect of the disputed domain name and it is not possible to conceive of any plausible, actual or contemplated active use of it that would not be illegitimate, such as passing off or an infringement of the Complainant’s trade mark rights. \r\n\r\nThe Respondent has registered and is using the disputed domain name in bad faith. The fact that the disputed domain name combines the Complainant’s AMUNDI trade mark with the terms “ass” (for “asset”) and “management” is a strong indication that the Respondent was targeting the Complainant at the time of registration. Given the distinctiveness of the Complainant’s trade marks and its reputation, it is reasonable to infer that the Respondent registered and used the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant’s trade mark. Moreover, the incorporation of the Complainant’s well-known trade mark within the disputed domain name, coupled with the inactive status of the webpage to which it resolves, is itself evidence of bad faith registration and use.  \r\n",
