    "no_response_filed": "NO ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLIANT RESPONSE HAS BEEN FILED.\r\n\r\nPARTIES' CONTENTIONS:\r\n\r\nCOMPLAINANT:\r\n\r\nThe Complainant's contentions are the following:\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant's earlier ARCELORMITTAL trademark since it includes the prior trademark it in its entirety. The Complainant further asserts that the addition of the generic term “Online” is not sufficient to escape the finding that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the trademark and branded goods ARCELORMITTAL and that it does not change the overall impression of the designation as being connected to the Complainant’s trademark ARCELORMITTAL. The Complainant further asserts that it does not prevent the likelihood of confusion between the disputed domain name and the Complainant, its trademark and the domain name associated. \r\n\r\nFurthermore, the Complainant contends that the addition of the gTLD “.COM” does not change the overall impression of the designation as being connected to the Complainant’s trademark. The Complainant sustains that this does not prevent the likelihood of confusion between the disputed domain name and the Complainant, its trademark and its domain names associated.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant further contends that the Respondent lacks rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name for a number of reasons.\r\n\r\nFirst, the Complainant asserts that the Respondent does not appear to be commonly known by the disputed domain name. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant further asserts that the Respondent has no relationships with the Complainant. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with, the Respondent. \r\nThe Respondent is not a Complainant’s licensee, nor has ever been authorised to make use of the Complainant’s trademark or to apply for the registration of the disputed domain name. \r\n\r\nLastly, the Complainant points out that the disputed domain name redirects to a parking page and that the Respondent did not make any use of disputed domain name since its registration and it confirms that Respondent has no demonstrable plan to use the disputed domain name, which is further evidence of the Respondent’s lack of rights or legitimate interests.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant argues that the disputed domain name has been registered, and is been used in bad faith. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant’s maintains that its ARCELORMITTAL trademark is well-known and therefore, that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant’s trademark. \r\n\r\nFurthermore, the disputed domain name redirects to a parking page. The Complainant 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 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. \r\n",
