The Complainant has more than 964,760 advertising panels in airports, rail and metro stations, shopping malls, on billboards and street furniture.

With more than 10,000 employees, the Complainant’s group of companies is present in over 80 countries and had a turnover of 2,312 million Euros in 2020.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name was registered on 11 December 2021 and resolves to an inactive webpage.\r\n",
    "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\nAccording to the Complainant, the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its JCDECAUX mark, as the addition of the term “dooh”, which stands for “digital out of home”, cannot avoid a finding of confusing similarity. It is in fact a well-established principle that a domain name that fully incorporates a Complainant’s trademark is confusingly similar to it.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant maintains that the Respondent does not have rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name as the Complainant has no business or other relation with the Respondent, and never licensed its JCDECAUX trademark to the Respondent, nor authorised the Respondent to make use of its trademark, or register a domain name containing this mark. Moreover, the Complainant is not commonly known by the disputed domain name.\r\nFurthermore, the disputed domain name does not resolve to an active website and, according to the Complainant, the Respondent did not make any use of the disputed domain name since its registration, and does not have demonstrable plans to use the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\nLastly, the Complainant contends that the disputed domain name was registered and has been used in bad faith. The Complainant asserts that its trademark JCDECAUX is well known, and has been was already known for decades and protected in several countries at the time of the registration of the disputed domain name. Hence, it is clear that the Complainant registered the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademark.\r\nIn relation to the use of the disputed domain name in bad faith, the Complainant underlines that the disputed domain name does not lead to an active webpage and that it is not possible to conceive any plausible actual or contemplated active use of the disputed domain name that would not be illegitimate such as being a passing off, an infringement of consumer protection legislation or an infringement of the Complainant’s rights under the trademark law.  \r\nAs already found by previous Panels, the Complainant maintains that the incorporation of a famous mark into a domain name, coupled with an inactive website may be evidence of bad faith registration and use.\r\n",
