COMPLAINANT:<\/p>\n
The Complainant contends as follows.<\/p>\n
1.The disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its name and marks and includes the whole of its mark. That the addition of the generic word “management” adds nothing to the similarity analysis, nor does the gTLD. The findings of three other UDRP panels to the effect that it is a well-known mark should be followed. <\/p>\n
2.The Respondent is not known by the disputed domain name based on the information in the WHOIS. That is the relevant test. It is not authorised by and has no consent from the Complainant to make use of its name and marks. It has no use of its own to give rise to any legitimate rights or interests and there are no such interests.<\/p>\n
3.As to Bad Faith, the mark is well known, the Respondent has not come forward, there is no use and no rights or interests on the face of the matter, and it is reasonable to infer Bad Faith.<\/p>\n
