The Complainant also contends that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name. The Respondent is not known by the disputed domain name. The Complainant does not have any relationship with the Respondent. The Respondent is neither affiliated with, nor authorized by the Complainant in any way to make any use of the Complainant’s ARCELORMITTAL Trademark or to register the disputed domain name. The typosquatting of the Complainant's trademark by the Respondent evidences that he lacks rights and legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. Besides, the Complainant contends that the Respondent did not use the disputed domain name, and it confirms that the Respondent has no demonstrable plan to use the disputed domain name.<\/span>
Finally, the Complainant contends that, given the distinctiveness and reputation of the ARCELORMITTAL Trademark, it is unlikely that the Respondent had no knowledge of the Complainant's mark when he had registered the disputed domain name confusingly similar to such mark. Moreover, considered that MX servers are set for the disputed domain name, it is inconceivable that the Respondent makes any good faith use of the disputed domain name as part of an e-mail address.<\/span>
The Complainant, therefore, requests the transfer of the disputed domain name.<\/span>
