Indeed, the deletion of the letter \"I\" is not sufficient to escape the finding that the domain name is confusingly similar to the trademark ARCELORMITTAL®. This is a clear case of typosquatting.\r\n\r\nComplainant has prevailed in at least six other analogous proceedings.\r\n\r\nCAC 100831 - ArcelorMittal S.A. v.

    "rights": "It is clear and proven that there is a similarity between properly registered and used domain names and trade marks of the Complainant and the disputed domain name as to the misspelling\/typosquatting; phonetic similarity, optical similarity; conceptual\/intellectual similarity. Indeed, the deletion of the letter \"I\" is not sufficient to escape the finding that the domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant’s trademark. Therefore, the Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the disputed domain Name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(i)of the Policy). ",
    "no_rights_or_legitimate_interests": "The Panel finds that the ARCELORMITTAL mark is distinctive. The Complainant’s assertions that the Respondent is not commonly known by the disputed domain name and is not affiliated with nor authorised by the Complainant are sufficient to constitute a prima facie showing of absence of rights or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name on the part of the Respondent. The evidentiary burden therefore shifts to the Respondent to show by concrete evidence that it does have rights or legitimate interests in that name. The Respondent has made no attempt to do so. Accordingly, the Panel finds that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. Therefore, the Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Respondent to have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain Name (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(ii)of the Policy). ",
    "bad_faith": "The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the disputed domain Name has been registered and is being used in bad faith (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(iii)of the Policy).  The domain name recently has been registered in order to send fraudulent email from an address at the domain name to banks, in a clear effort to steal money. The Respondent has used the disputed domain name in scam email correspondence with the Complainant's employee's banks, creating the impression that the email was sent by the Complainant's employee.  The disputed domain name was registered and used solely to take advantage of the Complainant's reputation and employees.  ",
