In 2022, the Complainants&rsquo; market capitalization is of USD 414 million.<\/p>\n<p>The Complainant owns trademarks rights on the term OSPREY, and owns and operates the domain name &lt;osprey.com&gt; and the corresponding website.<\/p>\n<p>All disputed domain names were registered between 19 June 2023 and 27 July 2023.<\/p>",

The Complainant asserts that the addition of generic or geographic terms&nbsp; is not sufficient to escape the finding that the disputed domain names are confusingly similar to the trademark OSPREY.<\/p>\n<p>Per the Complaint, the Respondent is not known by the Complainant. The Complainant contends that Respondent is not affiliated with nor authorized by the Complainant in any way and that Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain names. The Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent. Furthermore, parr of the disputed domain names resolve to websites resembling the official website of the Complainant at &lt;osprey.com&gt;, which is neither a bona fide offering of goods or services, nor a legitimate non-commercial or fair use under Policy. The websites reproduce the Complainant's name and logo.<\/p>\n<p>As regards the bad faith of the Respondent, by registering many domain names reproducing the Complainant's well-known trademark and linking part of them with websites resembling the Complainant's official website, the Respondent has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to its website or other online location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant's mark. The Complainant equally asserts that the Respondent has entered a pattern of conduct where it has registered domain names in order to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RESPONDENT <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>NO ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLIANT RESPONSE HAS BEEN FILED.&nbsp;<\/p>",

Consolidation is also addressed in WIPO Overview 3.0, section 4.11, which states that &ldquo;panels look at whether (i) the domain names or corresponding websites are subject to common control, and (ii) the consolidation would be fair and equitable to all parties. Procedural efficiency would also underpin panel consideration of such a consolidation scenario&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>The Panel, in line with decisions of other panels in similar cases (see, for example, CAC case No. <span>105420)<\/span>, considers that, o<span>n the balance of probabilities, all of the disputed domain names are under the control of a single person or entity, or group of individuals acting in concert. <\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span>Therefore, the Panel decides to grant the requested consolidation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Panel is satisfied that all procedural requirements under UDRP were met and there is no other reason why it would be inappropriate to provide a decision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IDENTITY OF RESPONDENT - Web Commerce Communications Limited<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Complainant emphasizes that the largest subset in terms of identical registrant data, namely 48 domains, are registered by the same Registrant: &ldquo;Web Commerce Communications Limited&rdquo;, doing business as &ldquo;Webnic.cc&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>Per the Complainant, since Webnic.cc operates as a reseller and conduit reselling Registrar&rsquo;s services, the Registrar should have provided the details of the underlying registrants. The Complainant claims that the Registrar is potentially in violation of the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data, Appendix E 1.1.<\/p>\n<p>The Panel notes that there may be indeed potential non-compliance by the Registrar with the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data, Appendix E 1.1 that states, inter alia, the following: &ldquo;The Registrar MUST provide the UDRP provider with the full Registration Data for each of the specified domain names, upon the UDRP provider notifying the Registrar of the existence of a complaint&hellip;&rdquo;, if the Registrar failed to disclose actual registrant(s) and instead provided details of a proxy\/privacy service.<\/p>\n<p>However, in acting as the reseller, it is equally possible that Webnic.cc provided their contact details for the registration of the largest batch of the disputed domains. It is possible that the Registrar, only obtained Webnic.cc's details and was unaware of the underlying registrant data. In such scenario, the Registrar would not be found in non-compliance with the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data, Appendix E 1.1., as it provided the Center with the Registrant data that it holds.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, &ldquo;Web Commerce Communications Limited&rdquo; is deemed registrant and Respondent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LANGUAGE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The registration agreement for all disputed domain names is in English. The Complainant asserts that in case the Respondent requests another language, English still shall be the language of this proceedings based on a number of factors. The Respondent did not respond and did not question the language of this proceeding.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, English shall be the language of this proceeding.<\/p>",
