COMPLAINANT:
According to the evidence submitted by Complainant, Complainant is a German family-owned pharmaceutical group of companies with roots going back to 1885, when it was founded by Albert Boehringer (1861-1939) in Ingelheim am Rhein.
Complainant submits that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to Complainant's MICARDIS trademark. The trademark is included in its entirety in the disputed domain name; the addition of the generic numbers “24” is not sufficient to avoid the likelihood of confusion with Complainant’s trademark.
According to Complainant, Respondent has no rights or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name. Respondent is not related in any way with Complainant. Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with Respondent. Neither license nor authorization has been granted to Respondent to make any use of Complainant’s trademark MICARDIS, or apply for registration of the disputed domain name. Furthermore, the disputed domain name resolves to a website with pornographic content. Respondent’s use of the disputed domain name in this manner indicates neither a bona fide offering of goods or services
According to Complainant the disputed domain name is registered and is being used in bad faith. Complainant’s trademark MICARDIS is a distinctive trademark. Besides, the term “MICARDIS” has no other meaning, except in relation with Complainant. Therefore, Complainant finds that it is not conceivable that Respondent would not have had actual notice of Complainant’s trademark rights at the time of the registration of the disputed domain name. Furthermore, Complainant asserts that bad faith use and registration exists as Respondent uses Complainant’s trademark in the disputed domain name for the purpose of diverting Internet users to a pornographic website.
