    "factual_background": "The Complainant contends that <arselormittal.com> is confusingly similar to its previous and well-known trademark ArcelorMittal in consideration of the fact that the letter C included in the Complainant's mark is simply replaced by the letter S included in the disputed domain name.\r\nRespondent has registered the disputed domain name on March 14, 2012; the corresponding website consists of a simple homepage with different links to websites of third parties offering different kind of products\/services.\r\nAccording to the Complainant's point of view the behaviour of Respondent represents a typical case of typosquatting.   Complainant contends that typosquatting is profitable because a website with a domain name consisting of a common misspelling of a famous trademark generates Internet traffic and, therefore, possible advertising revenue as established in the following cases:\r\nWIPO N°D2012-0744 Riot Games, Inc. v. Maik Baumgartner\r\nWIPO N°D2011-0060 Allstate Insurance Company v. Anunet Pvt Ltd.\r\nWIPO N°D2011-0830 Geoffrey, LLC v.
