    "factual_background": "<p><span>As the Respondent did not file any response to the complaint, the Panel took into account the following facts asserted by the Complainant (and supported by the documentary evidence submitted by the Complainant) and unchallenged by the Respondent:<\/span><br \/><br \/><span>(a) the Complainant is the largest steel and mining company in the world and is the market leader in steel for use in automotive, construction, household appliances and packaging. It holds sizeable captive supplies of raw materials and operates extensive distribution networks;<\/span><br \/><br \/><span>(b) the Complainant is the owner of the Complainant&rsquo;s Trademark;<\/span><br \/><br \/><span>(c) the Complainant owns various domain names including the same distinctive wording ARCELORMITTAL;<\/span><br \/><br \/><span>(d) the disputed domain name was registered on 25 October 2023; and<\/span><br \/><br \/><span>(e) the disputed domain name resolves to a parking page.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span>The Complainant seeks transfer of the disputed domain name to the Complainant.<\/span><\/p>",

    "no_response_filed": "<p>THE COMPLAINANT:<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><span>In addition to the above factual assertions, the Complainant also contends the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>(i) the disputed domain name is identical to the Complainant&rsquo;s Trademark;<\/span><br \/><br \/><span>(ii) the Respondent is not affiliated with the Complainant nor authorized by it in any way to use Complainant&rsquo;s Trademark. The Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent;<\/span><br \/><br \/><span>(iii) the disputed domain name resolves to parking page and the Respondent did not make any use of disputed domain name. This confirms that Respondent has no demonstrable plan to use the disputed domain name. It proves a lack of legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name except in order to create a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant and its trademark. Therefore, the Respondent does not have right or legitimate interest in respect of the disputed domain name;<\/span><br \/><br \/><span>(iv) <\/span>Complainant&rsquo;s Trademark is widely known. Past panels have confirmed the notoriety of the trademark ARCELORMITTAL in the following cases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>CAC Case No. 101908, ARCELORMITTAL v. China Capital (\"The Complainant has established that it has rights in the trademark \"ArcelorMittal\", at least since 2007. The Complainant's trademark was registered prior to the registration of the disputed domain name (February 7, 2018) and is widely well-known.\");<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>CAC Case No. 101667, ARCELORMITTAL v. Robert Rudd (\"The Panel is convinced that the Trademark is highly distinctive and well-established.\");<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Given the distinctiveness of the Complainant's trademark and reputation, it is reasonable to infer that the Respondent has registered the domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademark; and<\/p>\n<p>(v) t<span>he Respondent has not demonstrated any activity in respect of the disputed domain name, and it is not possible to conceive of any plausible actual or contemplated active use of the domain name by the Respondent that would not be illegitimate, such as by being a passing off, an infringement of consumer protection legislation, or an infringement of the Complainant&rsquo;s rights under trademark law. As a result, the disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith by the Respondent.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>THE RESPONDENT:<br \/><br \/>The Respondent did not provide any response to the complaint.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>",
