    "factual_background": "As the Respondent did not file any response to the Complaint, the Panel took into account the following facts asserted by the Complainant (and supported by the documentary evidence submitted by the Complainant) and unchallenged by the Respondent:\r\n\r\n(a) The Complainant is among the top banking groups in the euro zone, with a market capitalisation exceeding 47,0 billion euro, and the undisputed leader in Italy, in all business areas (retail, corporate and wealth management). Thanks to a network of approximately 4,700 branches capillary and well distributed throughout the Country, with market shares of more than 22% in most Italian regions, the Group offers its services to approximately 13,5 million customers. Intesa Sanpaolo has a strong presence in Central-Eastern Europe with a network of approximately 1.000 branches and over 7,1 million customers. Moreover, the international network specialised in supporting corporate customers is present in 25 countries, in particular in the Mediterranean area and those areas where Italian companies are most active, such as the United States, Russia, China and India.\r\n\r\n(b) Moreover, the Complainant is also the owner, among the others, of the following domain names bearing the signs “INTESA SANPAOLO” and “INTESA”: INTESASANPAOLO.COM, .ORG, .EU, .INFO, .NET, .BIZ, INTESA-SANPAOLO.COM, .ORG, .EU, .INFO, .NET, .BIZ and INTESA.COM, INTESA.INFO, INTESA.BIZ, INTESA.ORG, INTESA.US, INTESA.EU, INTESA.CN, INTESA.IN, INTESA.CO.UK, INTESA.TEL, INTESA.NAME, INTESA.XXX, INTESA.ME. All of them are now connected to the official website http:\/\/www.intesasanpaolo.com.\r\n\r\n(c) On 28 June 2021 when the Complainant took the screenshot, the disputed domain name redirected to a parking page in which the same is offered for sale for the amount of $280.00.

    "no_response_filed": "PARTIES' CONTENTIONS:\r\n\r\nCOMPLAINANT:\r\n\r\nIn addition to the above factual assertions, the Complainant also contends the following:\r\n\r\n(a) The disputed domain name is identical, or – at least – confusingly similar, to the Complainant’s trademarks “ISP”, “INTESA SANPAOLO” and “INTESA SANPAOLO BANK”. As a matter of fact, BANKISP.COM is identical to “ISP” (with the mere addition of the descriptive word “bank”), while it is also almost identical to “INTESA SANPAOLO BANK” (with the mere substitution of the mark’s verbal portion “INTESA SANPAOLO” with the abbreviation “ISP” and the inversion of the terms “ISP” and “BANK”).\r\n\r\n(b) The Respondent has no rights on the disputed domain name, and any use of the trademarks “INTESA SANPAOLO” and “INTESA SANPAOLO BANK” has to be authorized by the Complainant. Nobody has been authorized or licensed by the above-mentioned banking group to use the domain name at issue. The disputed domain name does not correspond to the name of the Respondent and, to the best of Complainant‘s knowledge, the Respondent is not commonly known as “BANKISP”. Therefore, the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\n(c) The Complainant’s trademarks “INTESA SANPAOLO” and “INTESA SANPAOLO BANK”, are distinctive and well known all around the world. The fact that the Respondent has registered a domain name that is confusingly similar to them indicates that the Respondent had knowledge of the Complainant’s trademark at the time of registration of the disputed domain name. Moreover, the Respondent has registered or acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the Complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of Complainant, for $280, i.e. valuable consideration in excess of the Respondent’s costs directly related to the disputed domain name. Therefore, the Respondent registered and has been using the disputed domain name in bad faith.\r\n\r\n\r\nRESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nThe Respondent did not provide any response to the complaint.",
