THE COMPLAINANT <\/p>\n
The Complainant contends that the requirements of the Policy have been met and that the disputed domain name should be transferred to it.<\/p>\n
In particular, the Complainant alleges that the disputed domain name is composed by the Complainant’s trademark INTESA in its entirety with the mere addition of the term “inv” which seems to be an abbreviation of “invest” or “investment”.<\/p>\n
The Complainant also contends that none of the circumstances depicted in paragraph 4 (c) of the Policy applies in this case. Indeed, the Complainant alleges that the Respondent has not been authorized or licensed to use its marks in a corresponding domain name, there is no evidence that the Respondent is commonly kwon by “intesainv” or, the lack of fair or non-commercial use of the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Complainant´s trademark is well-known and the pay-per-click page meets paragraph 4(b)(iv) of the Policy. Thus, registration and use are in bad faith.<\/p>\n
