COMPLAINANT:<\/p>\n
According to the information submitted by Complainant, Complainant is a business within the Pentair Group of companies (“Pentair Group”). Founded in 1966, the Pentair Group is a leader in the water industry, composed of companies around the world. The official website of Pentair Group is found at www.pentair.com. From approximately 135 locations in 26 countries, Pentair Group has more than 11,000 employees. Pentair Group’s 2022 net sales were approximately $4.1 billion.
According to Complainant the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to Complainant's trademark. Complainant asserts that the disputed domain name directly and entirely incorporates Complainant’s registered trademark PENTAIR along with the generic term ‘’finance’’, a term that can be considered related to Complainant’s business.
According to Complainant, Respondent has no rights or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name. Respondent bears no relationship to Complainant and its trademarks, and the disputed domain name has no other meaning except for referring to Complainant’s name and trademarks. Respondent is not commonly known by the disputed domain name, and further has never been authorized by Complainant to register the disputed domain name, nor does Complainant have any relationship with Respondent.
According to Complainant the disputed domain name is registered and is being used in bad faith. The disputed domain name is not being used in connection with a bona fide offer of goods or services and inference of bad faith registration and use is also given by the fact that there is no active content. Currently, the disputed domain name has active MX records, meaning that fraudulent emails could be sent from an address which would be likely to make a recipient believe that it is a legitimate communication from Complainant in connection with financial matters. Finally, Complainant’s distinctive trademark registrations long predate Respondent’s disputed domain name registration. This constitutes bad faith due to the gap of several years between the registration of Complainant’s trademarks and Respondent’s registration of the disputed domain name.
