    "factual_background": "COMPLAINANT:\r\n\r\nFounded in 1920, the Complainant promotes, organizes and develops tennis in France. The Complainant is well known for organizing major tennis tournaments such as the Internationaux de France de Tennis at Roland Garros also called “The French Open”. It is the most important tournament of the tennis season on clay and the only Grand Slam still being held on that surface.\r\n\r\nDISPUTED DOMAIN NAME:\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name <rolandgarros.world> was registered on 27 June 2021 and is held by the Respondent. \r\n\r\nThe domain name website (i.e. website to which the disputed domain name resolves) is currently not genuinely used as it contains only automatically generated links to third parties' websites, some of them being linked to tennis. It also reads \"Get This Domain\". \r\n\r\nThe Complainant seeks transfer of the disputed domain name to Complainant. \r\n",

    "no_response_filed": "The Parties' contentions are the following:\r\n\r\nCOMPLAINANT:\r\n\r\nCONFUSING SIMILARITY\r\n\r\n-\tThe Complainant states that the disputed domain name is identical to Complainant's trademarks as the disputed domain name contains the Complainant's trademarks in its entirety. \r\n\r\n-\tThe Complainant contends that addition of the gTLD “.WORLD” is not sufficient to escape the finding that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant's trademark.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant refers to previous domain name decisions concerning the confusing similarity between Complainant's trademarks and various domain names. \r\n\r\nNO RIGHTS OR LEGITIMATE INTERESTS\r\n\r\n-\tThe Respondent has not been commonly known by the disputed domain name. Neither the Complainant has been authorized, permitted or licensed the Respondent to use its trademarks in any manner. The Respondent has no connection or affiliation with the Complainant whatsoever. On this record, Respondent has not been commonly known by the disputed domain name so as to have acquired rights to or legitimate interests in it. \r\n\r\n-\tFurthermore, the domain name website is not genuinely used which confirms that the Respondent has no demonstrable plan to use the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\n-\tThe Complainant refers to previous domain name decisions contending that the Complainant is required to make out a prima facie case that the Respondent lacks rights or legitimate interests; once such prima facie case is made, the burden shifts to the Respondent to come forward with appropriate allegations or evidence demonstrating rights or legitimate interests in the domain name. \r\n \r\nBAD-FAITH REGISTRATION AND USE\r\n\r\n-\tSeniority of Complainant's trademarks predates the disputed domain name registration and such trademarks are well known in relevant business circles. The Respondent can be considered to be aware of the Complainant's trademark when registering the domain name due to well-known character thereof. \r\n\r\n- \tThe disputed domain name is inactive. The Complainant contends that the Respondent has not demonstrated any activity in respect of the disputed domain name and claims that any use of disputed domain name would be likely illegitimate, such as by being a passing off, an infringement of consumer protection legislation, or an infringement of the Complainant’s Trademark rights.\r\n\r\n-\tThe Complainant refers to previous domain name decisions contending that the Complainant's trademarks enjoy high level of notoriety and well-known character.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant presents the following evidence which has been assessed by the Panel:\r\n-\tInformation about the Complainant and its business;\r\n-\tExcerpts from a trademark database regarding Complainant's trademarks;\r\n-\tExcerpts on the disputed domain name from WHOIS database;\r\n-\tScreenshots of the disputed domain name website; and\r\n-\tGoogle results for a phrase \"ROLAND GARROS\".\r\n\r\nRESPONDENT:\r\nThe Respondent has not provided any response to the Complaint.",
