COMPLAINANT:<\/p>\n

The Complainant asserts that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademark, ARCELORMITTAL. It states that the obvious misspelling of its trademark is typosquatting, intended to create confusing similarity between its trademark and the disputed domain name.

<\/p>\n

The Complainant also asserts that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name and states that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. the Respondent is not identified in the Whois database as the disputed domain name;

    <\/li>\n
  2. the Respondent is not related in any way with the Complainant and the Complainant does not carry out any activity for and has no business with the Respondent;

    <\/li>\n
  3. the Respondent is not licensed or authorised to make use of the Complainant’s trademark ARCELORMITTAL; and

    <\/li>\n
  4. the Respondent has not used and has no demonstrable plan to use the disputed domain name.

    <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Complainant contends that the disputed domain name <\/em>was registered and is being used in bad faith and asserts that:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its distinctive and widely known trademark, ARCELORMITTAL;

      <\/li>\n
    2. the misspelling of the trademark was intentionally designed to be confusingly similar with the Complainant’s trademark;

      <\/li>\n
    3. the disputed domain name points to a parking page and it is not possible to conceive of any legitimate use of the domain name by the Respondent that would not infringement the Complainant’s rights; and

      <\/li>\n
    4. the disputed domain name has been set up with MX records, which suggests that it may be actively used for email purposes (see CAC Case No. 102827, JCDECAUX SA v. Handi Hariyono<\/em>).
