Complainant contends that this case demonstrates a clear case of typosquatting. It introduces into the domain name an “L” before the letter “B” so that instead of “Gobain” the domain name is <saint-golbain.com>. Respondent has also configured an MX server which signifiers an intention to use emails associated with the domain name. The disputed domain name was registered on November 6, 2024. Typosquatting does not prevent the likelihood of confusion between the disputed domain name and the Complainant, its trademark and the domain name corresponding to it.<\/p>\n
According to Complainant, Respondent lacks rights or legitimate interests in the disputed <\/strong>domain name. Respondent is not commonly known by the disputed domain name and Complainant has not authorized Respondent to use its mark. Respondent is not using the disputed domain name for a bona fide offering of goods or services, or a legitimate noncommercial or fair use. Instead, Respondent is using the disputed domain name to resolve to a pay-per-click website. <\/p>\n RESPONDENT<\/p>\n No administratively compliant Response has been filed.<\/p>",
