    "factual_background": "FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nFounded in 1920, the Complainant promotes, organizes and develops tennis in France. It counts nearly 1 million licensees in 2020. The Complainant also provides representation of France in international meetings and organizes major tournaments such as the International of France at Roland Garros.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name <rolandgarrosmetaverse.com> was registered on January 8, 2022.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant states that the disputed domain name <rolandgarrosmetaverse.com> is confusingly similar to its trademark \"ROLAND GARROS\". Actually, in the Complainant's view, the addition of the term \"metaverse\" is not sufficient to escape the finding that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the trademark „ROLAND GARROS“.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends that the Respondent is not affiliated with him nor authorized by him in any way. The Complainant also argues that the Respondent has no right nor legitimate interest in the disputed domain name and it is not related in any way to its business. The Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent. The Respondent is not commonly known by <rolandgarrosmetaverse.com> or by other names similar to the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\nGiven the distinctiveness of the Complainant‘s trademark and its reputation, the Complainant infers that the Respondent has registered and used the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademark. The Complainant also notes that the disputed domain name <rolandgarrosmetaverse.com> resolves to a parking page with commercial links. The Complainant believes the Respondent has attempted to attract Internet users for commercial gain to his own website thanks to the Complainant’s trademarks for its own commercial gain.",
