COMPLAINANT: <\/p>\n
The Complainant contends that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the BFORBANK mark on the basis that the disputed domain name consists of the misspelled mark, the additional letter “e” and the top-level domain name suffix (“TLDs”) “.com” and are thus insufficient to avoid the finding that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its BFORBANK 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 known or affiliated with the Complainant and the Complainant did not license or authorize the Respondent to use the BFORBANK mark. The Complainant also argues that the disputed domain name is a typosquatted version of the trademark. Further, the disputed domain name resolves to a wordpress template untitled “My Shop ВfоrВаnk” displaying the trademark of the Complainant and could mislead customers into believing that they are accessing to a Complainant’s website under construction.<\/p>\n
The Complainant further asserts that the disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith as the Respondent should have known of the Complainant’s well-known BFORBANK mark at the time of registration of the disputed domain name. The misspelling of the Complainant’s BFORBANK trademark was intentionally designed to be confusingly similar to the Complainant’s BFORBANK mark. The Complainant also asserts that as the Respondent’s website does not contain any information about the Respondent, the Respondent has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to his websites, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant and its mark.
