COMPLAINANT<\/strong><\/p>\n

The disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant’s trademarks LEROY MERLIN and its domain names. The Complainant contends that the marks are entirely reproduced in the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n

Per the Complaint, the Respondent is not known by the disputed domain name. The Complainant contends that Respondent is not authorized by the Complainant in any way and that Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name. The Complainant equally asserts that the Respondent is not commonly known by the disputed domain name and that no fair or non-commercial use of the domain name can be found. On the contrary, the Complainant submits that the disputed domain name is used to disrupt the Complainant’s business.<\/p>\n

As regards the bad faith of the Respondent, the disputed domain name includes the distinctive and well-known trademark LEROY MERLIN. It is reasonable to infer that the Respondent has registered the domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademark.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Complainant argues that the Respondent has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to his web site, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of his website. Therefore, the Complainant deems that the Respondent has registered and is using the domain name at issue in order to intentionally divert traffic away from the Complainant’s web site. MX records are also configured, suggesting that the domain name may be actively used for phishing purposes.<\/p>\n
