    "factual_background": "Facts asserted by the Complainant and not contested by the Respondent:\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name is identical to the Complainant’s C NEWS Trademark, with the addition of the generic top level domain (\"gTLD\") “.shop” not adding any distinctiveness to the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\nThe Respondent does not have any rights or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name because the Respondent is not commonly known by a disputed domain name, is neither affiliated with nor authorized by the Complainant in any way, while neither a licence nor authorization has been granted to the Respondent to make any use of the C NEWS Trademark, or apply for registration of the disputed domain name by the Complainant. Moreover, the disputed domain name resolves to an online casino. The Complainant contends that the Respondent used the dispute domain name in a way that fails to confer rights and legitimate interests, as it is used to promote unrelated services.\r\n\r\nThe Respondent has registered the disputed domain name several years after the registration of the C NEWS Trademark by the Complainant, which has established a strong reputation while using this trademark. Besides, the Complainant contends that the term “C NEWS” does not have any signification, except in relation with the Complainant, so that the Respondent must have been aware of the C NEWS Trademark and registered the disputed domain name in bad faith.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name resolved to an online casino and the Complainant contends that the Respondent attempts to attract internet users by creating a likelihood of confusion with the C NEWS Trademark. The Respondent is obtaining commercial gain from its use of the disputed domain name and the resolving website, which constitutes bad faith registration and use of the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\nThe Panel checked the disputed domain name on the Internet and discovered that it is currently resolving to a website which uses the Complainant's stylized C NEWS logo and offers news items and commercial contents.",
