    "factual_background": "FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nSince 1964, JCDECAUX SA is the worldwide number one in outdoor advertising. For more than 50 years JCDECAUX SA has been offering solutions that combine urban development and the provision of public services in approximatively 80 countries. The Complainant is currently the only group present in the three principal segments of outdoor advertising market: street furniture, transport advertising and billboard.\r\n\r\nThe Group is listed on the Premier Marché of the Euronext Paris stock exchange and is part of Euronext 100 index. Employing a total of 10,230 people, the Group is present in more than 80 different countries and 3,670 cities and has generated revenues of € 2,312m in 2020.\r\n\r\nJCDECAUX SA owns several trademarks \"JCDecaux\" and \"DECAUX\". The Complainant also owns a large domain names portfolio, including the same distinctive wordings \"JCDECAUX\" and \"DECAUX\", such as <jcdecaux.com> and <igpdecaux.net>.\r\n\r\nIGPDECAUX is the name of a Complainant's subsidiary operating in Italy and born in 2001 from the merger between IGP, JCDecaux Comunicazione Esterna Italia, branch of the French group JCDecaux, and RCS Media Group. \r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name <igpdecauxmedia.com> was registered on April 4, 2022 and resolves to a parking page.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant states that the disputed domain name <igpdecauxmedia.com> is confusingly similar to its protected trademarks and to the company name IGPDECAUX.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, the Complainant states that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. The Complainant also argues that the Respondent has no relationship with Complainant's business and is not authorized or licensed to use its trademarks.\r\n\r\nIn the Complainant's view, in consideration of the distinctiveness and reputation of the Complainant trademarks it appears obvious that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademarks  and therefore could not ignore the Complainant. The Complainant also contends that the Respondent has not demonstrated any activity in respect of the disputed domain name, and it is not possible to conceive of any plausible actual or contemplated active use of the disputed domain name by the Respondent that would not be illegitimate, such as by being a passing off, an infringement of consumer protection legislation, or an infringement of the Complainant’s rights under trademark law. On these bases, the Complainant concludes that the Respondent has registered and is using the disputed domain name in bad faith.",
