The Complainant refers to their website at: www.arcelormittal.com.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant is the largest steel producing company in the world and is the market leader in steel for use in automotive, construction, household appliances and packaging with operations in more than 60 countries. It holds sizeable captive supplies of raw materials and operates extensive distribution networks.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant owns various trade marks which include the words ARCELORMITTAL. The Complainant is also the owner of many Internet domain names which include the words ARCELORMITTAL.\r\n\r\nThe disputed Domain Name was registered on 17 July 2016.",
    "other_legal_proceedings": "The Panel is not aware of any other legal proceedings which relate to the disputed domain name ARCELORMITALS.COM (the 'Domain Name').",
    "no_response_filed": "NO ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLIANT RESPONSE HAS BEEN FILED.\r\n\r\nCOMPLAINANT'S CONTENTIONS:\r\n\r\nThe Complainant argues that the Domain Name is confusingly similar to its registered trade marks for ARCELORMITTAL. It points out that the omission of the letter T in the word MITTAL, the addition of the letter S at the end of the domain name and the .COM suffix are not sufficient to escape the finding by the Panel of confusing similarity.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant states that this is a clear case of \"typosquatting\", where the Domain Name is an obvious misspelling of the Complainant's ARCELORMITTAL trade mark.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant has no relationship with the Respondent. The website attached to the Domain Name is inactive, and states that the Registrar has suspended the Domain Name as the email address provided by the registrant has not been verified. Therefore the Complainant states that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name, and the Respondent has registered and used the Domain Name in order to create a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant's trade mark.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant points out that ARCELORMITTAL is only known in relation to the Complainant. A Google search on the wording ARCELORMITTAL displays various results, all of them being related to the Complainant.\r\n\r\nBy registering the misspelling of the ARCELORMITTAL trade mark, the Complainant argues that the Domain Name was intentionally registered to be confusingly similar to the Complainant's trade mark. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant states it is inconceivable that the choice of the Respondent’s Domain Name was made independently of knowledge of the Complainant’s trade marks.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the website attached to the Domain Name being inactive and stating that it has been suspended due to lack of email verification, the Complainant also argues that the Respondent has provided false contact details. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant concludes that the Respondent registered and is using the Domain Name in bad faith.\r\n\r\n",
    "rights": "The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Domain Name is confusingly similar to a trade mark in which the Complainant has rights (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(i)of the Policy).",

    "procedural_factors": "The Panel is satisfied that all procedural requirements under UDRP were met and there is no other reason why it would be inappropriate to provide a decision.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant first filed its complaint in relation to the Domain Name with the Czech Arbitration Court on 9 August 2016. In its complaint the Complaint solely stated 'LLc Inc' as the Respondent. However, following a request by the CAC for Registrar Verification, the identity of the registrant was named by the Registrar to be 'Fetty wap' of 'LLc Inc', based in Alabama, USA. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant filed an amended complaint and the CAC formally commenced proceedings on 24 August 2016. The Respondent was notified accordingly.\r\n\r\nHowever, the Respondent failed to submit a Response within the time frame required in this Complaint, or at all, and a Notification of Respondent’s Default was therefore issued by the Czech Arbitration Court on 14 September 2016.\r\n\r\nHaving received a Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality, the Czech Arbitration Court appointed Steve Palmer of Palmer Biggs IP, Solicitors as the Panel in these UDRP proceedings.
