COMPLAINANT:<\/p>\n
The Complainant states that the Respondent registered <bollores-logistics.com> (the “Disputed Domain Name”) on February 1, 2023 and it resolves to a website “without any substantial content. The Panel attempted to review the Respondent’s website but its malware program cautioned against opening it as it “may contain malware.” The Complainant contends that its word mark BOLLORE LOGISTICS predates the registration of the Disputed Domain Name by many years. The Respondent's registration of the Disputed Domain Name varies from the mark by adding a hyphen and the letter \"s\" and is, therefore, virtually identical to the Complainant’s mark. The Complainant contends that it has no business relationship with Respondent, did not authorize it to register the Disputed Domain Name, and states that the Respondent is using the Disputed Domain Name to attract Internet visitors to its website. Judging from the cautionary response the Panel received from its malware program, it is more likely than not for visitors without any such cautionary program to be vulnerable to receiving malware. <\/p>\n
