COMPLAINANT<\/p>\n
A. THE DISPUTED DOMAIN NAME IS IDENTICAL OR CONFUSINGLY SIMILAR TO A TRADEMARK OR SERVICE MARK IN WHICH THE COMPLAINANT HAS RIGHTS<\/p>\n
The disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant’s trademark \"BFORBANK\". The addition of the term “sevice”, which is a misspelled version of “service” is not sufficient to escape the finding that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the trademark \" BFORBANK” nor does it prevent the likelihood of confusion between the disputed domain name and the Complainant's trademark.<\/p>\n
B. THE RESPONDENT HAS NO RIGHTS OR LEGITIMATE INTERESTS IN RESPECT OF THE DISPUTED DOMAIN NAME<\/p>\n
The Complainant contends that Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name. The Respondent is not commonly known by the disputed domain name. Neither license nor authorization has been granted to the Respondent to make any use of the Complainant’s trademark BOFRBANK, or apply for registration of the disputed domain name. Lastly, the Complainant states it did not find any fair or non-commercial uses of the disputed domain name at stake.
C. THE DISPUTED DOMAIN NAME WAS REGISTERED AND IS USED IN BAD FAITH
The disputed domain name was registered and is used in bad faith. The Complainant submits that the Respondent registered and used the disputed domain name in full knowledge of the Complainant's trademark considering the Complainant’s trademark reputation. The Complainant states that the disputed domain name is not used in connection with any active website, but that MX records are linked to the domain name, which suggests that it may be actively used. Any e-mail emanating from the disputed domain name should not be seen as use of the domain name in good faith. On these bases, the Complainant concludes that the Respondent registered and is using the disputed domain name in bad faith.
