The Complainant, Amundi Asset Management, is one of Europe’s top leading asset management companies. It has offices in Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and the Americas. It has a significant number of retail, institutional and corporate clients. <\/p>\n
The Complainant states that it owns multiple domain names, consisting, inter alia<\/em>, the AMUNDI mark, such as <amundi.com> which was used as the Complainant’s main website since August 26, 2004 and <amundi-funds.com> which was registered and used since September 16, 2009.<\/p>\n The disputed domain name was registered by the Respondent on May 24, 2023 and resolves to a website displaying a general offer to sell the domain name. <\/p>",
"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.<\/p>",
"no_response_filed": " NO ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLIANT RESPONSE HAS BEEN FILED. <\/p>\n Complainant: <\/p>\n The Complainant contends that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the AMUNDI mark on the basis that the fact that the disputed domain name consists of the AMUNDI mark in its entirety with the addition of the descriptive term “fund” and the top-level domain name suffixes (“TLD”) “.com” is insufficient to avoid the finding that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its AMUNDI mark.<\/p>\n The Complainant also argues that the Respondent does not have any rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. The Respondent has not acquired any rights in a trademark or trade name corresponding to the disputed domain name. In addition, the Respondent is not affiliated with the Complainant nor did the Complainant license or authorize the Respondent to use the AMUNDI mark.<\/p>\n The Complainant further asserts that the disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith as the Respondent knew of the Complainant’s AMUNDI mark at the time of registration of the disputed domain name and registered the domain with the intent to target the trademark. The Respondent has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to his website, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant and its mark.<\/p>",
