    "other_legal_proceedings": "The Panel is not aware of any other legal proceedings which are pending or decided and which relate to the disputed domain name.",
    "no_response_filed": "NO ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLIANT RESPONSE HAS BEEN FILED.\r\n\r\nPARTIES' CONTENTIONS:\r\n\r\nCOMPLAINANT:\r\n\r\ni) The Complainant owns rights in the mark ‘ADECCO.’ The disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant’s mark as it incorporates the Complainant’s mark in its entirety with the addition of the acronym “USA” and a descriptive term ‘mail.’\r\n\r\nii) The Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name. The Complainant has not licensed or authorized the Respondent to register or use the disputed domain name, nor is the Respondent affiliated to the Complainant in any form. There is no evidence that the Respondent is known by the disputed domain name or owns any corresponding registered trademarks. The Respondent’s name “Victor Uwala” does not correspond to the disputed domain name. The structure of the disputed domain name reveals that the Respondent’s initial intention in registering the disputed domain name was to refer to the Complainant, its trademark and business activities. The disputed domain name has been used to commit fraud by impersonating the Complainant, specifically by conducting a phishing scheme. The disputed domain name resolves to a pay-per-click page which displays a relevant sponsored link entitled “Recruitment Agency” which leads to another page also containing links related to hiring such as ‘Top Jobs Recruitment Agencies.’\r\n\r\niii) The Respondent has registered and is using the disputed domain name in bad faith. The Respondent registered the disputed domain name many years after the registrations of the Complainant’s ADECCO trademarks. The ADECCO trademark is a widely known trademark registered in many countries and the Complainant enjoys a strong online presence. Therefore, the Respondent had knowledge of the Complainant and its rights in the ADECCO trademark at the time of the registration of the disputed domain name. The Respondent has registered and used the disputed domain name to take advantage of the Complainant’s widely known trademark ADECCO and engage in phishing scheme. The disputed domain name resolves to a pay-per-click page which is likely to generate revenues when Internet users click on the links displayed therein. Active MX records are associated with the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\nRESPONDENT:\r\nRespondent did not submit a response in this proceeding.",
