COMPLAINANT:<\/p>\n

The Complainant states that the disputed domain name <xiaomistores.com> is confusingly similar to its trademark XIAOMI. Indeed, the domain name incorporates the trademark in its entirety with the addition of the word “stores” which creates the overall impression of the designation as being connected to Complainant’s line of products. \"Stores\" reinforces the association with the Complainant and fosters the likelihood of confusion between the disputed domain name and the Complainant, its trademark and its associated domain names.<\/p>\n

 The Complainant states further that prior to the filing of this Complaint, the Respondent made use of the sub-domain https:\/\/huangruohong.xiaomistores.com of the disputed domain name which contributes to the confusion. The Respondent was apparently using the sub-domain to resolve to a website that displays the Complainant’s official MI logo and purports to offer XIAOMI branded products for sale, the authenticity of which the Complainant states it is unable to confirm at present. As shown in the Complainant's submitted evidence, the disputed domain name resolves or at that time resolved d to a website impersonating the Complainant.<\/p>\n

The Complainant states further that the registration of <xiaomistores.com constitutes a fraudulent scheme of impersonation by which the Respondent it taking advantage of Complainant and consumers by posing as an official XIAOMI store offering for sale, potentially counterfeited Xiaomi products. <\/p>\n
