Complainant:<\/p>\n
The disputed domain names wholly incorporate and are confusingly similar to the Complainant’s AMUNDI registered trademark, and the addition of the term “group” or its French equivalent “groupe” is insufficient to avoid the likelihood of confusion or to change the overall impression of the designations as being connected to the Complainant’s said trademark. The generic top-level domain in each of the disputed domain names is viewed as a standard registration requirement and can be disregarded for comparison purposes. The Complainant’s rights have been confirmed by previous panels under the Policy.<\/p>\n
The Respondent is not commonly known by the disputed domain names and the Respondent’s Whois information is not similar to the disputed domain names. The Respondent is neither affiliated with nor authorized by the Complainant in any way. The Respondent does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Complainant. No authorization has been granted to the Respondent by the Complainant to use its AMUNDI trademark.<\/p>\n
The disputed domain names redirect to parking pages with commercial links. Previous panels under the Policy have found that this is not a bona fide offering of goods or services or legitimate non-commercial or fair use.<\/p>\n
The disputed domain names are confusingly similar to the Complainant’s AMUNDI trademark and associated domain names, and such mark is well-known, under reference to a previous case under the Policy. Given the distinctiveness of the Complainant’s trademark and reputation, it is reasonable to infer that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain names with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademarks.<\/p>\n
The use of the disputed domain names to redirect to parking pages with commercial links indicates that the Respondent has attempted to attract Internet users for commercial gain to its own websites by use of the Complainant’s trademark, which is evidence of bad faith.<\/p>\n
The disputed domain names have been set up with MX records, suggesting that they may be actively used for e-mail purposes, and it is inconceivable that the Respondent will be able to make any good faith use of the disputed domain names as part of an e-mail address.<\/p>\n
