The Complainant is a diversified group of industrial companies structured by a strong corporate culture. Its businesses are centered on four sectors of activity: Construction, Energies and services, Media and Telecoms. Operating in over 80 countries, the Complainant’s net profit attributable to the Group amounted to 973 million euros. The Complainant is the owner of several registrations for the trademark BOUYGUES, such as International Trademark Registration Number 390771 for BOUYGUES, dated September 1, 1972 and French Trademark Registration Number 1197244 for BOUYGUES dated March 4, 1982. The Complainant also owns a number of related domain names including <bouygues-uk.com>, registered since January 24, 2002. The disputed domain name was registered on February 22, 2024 and resolves to a parking page. There are also mail exchange (MX) records associated with the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to the Complainant’s trademark as it is an obvious misspelling thereof adding an additional letter “s”. The domain name also adds a hyphen, the geographic abbreviation “UK”, and the “.com” TLD. Further, the disputed domain name resolves to a parked page and is thus unused. The Respondent thus has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name, it is not authorised to use the Complainant’s trademark, it is not commonly known by the name, and it is not making a bona fide or fair use of the disputed domain name. Further, typosquatting of the Complainant‘s trademark for a domain name indicates that the disputed domain name was registered and is used in bad faith.<\/p>", "other_legal_proceedings": "
