COMPLAINANT'S CONTENTIONS:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Identical or confusingly similar<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The Complainant argues that the disputed domain name <amundibond.com> and the Complainant's registered trademark AMUNDI are confusingly similar.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Particularly, the Complainant contends that its trademark is fully contained within the disputed domain name and points out that the particle “BOND”, is not sufficient to avoid the likelihood of confusion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Moreover, the Complainant also points out that the applicable Top-Level suffix “-com” is viewed as a standard registration requirement and as such is disregarded.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n No rights or legitimate interests<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Complainant argues that there is no evidence at all that the Respondent is commonly known by the disputed domain name and that he is not related in any way to the Complainant’s business. The Complainant contends that the Respondent is not affiliated with him nor authorized by him in any way to use the trademark AMUNDI. The Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Registered and used in bad faith<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n As far as bad faith registration is concerned, the Complainant states due to its worldwide presence and considering that the Complainant’s sign “AMUNDI” is a well-known mark (as stated in CAC case n° 101803, AMUNDI v. John Crawford), the Respondent could not be unaware of the Complainant rights over the name AMUNDI at the time of the disputed domain name registration.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Furthermore, the Complainant asserts that the Respondent chose to register the disputed domain name to create a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant and its trademark. By profiting from the notoriety of the Complainant’s trademark in the domain name, the Respondent uses the disputed domain name to offer services in direct competition with the Complainant. In view of the Complainant, the use of a confusingly similar domain name that resolves to a competing webpage is not a bona fide offering of goods or services.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n RESPONDENT'S CONTENTIONS:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Respondent did not respond to the Complaint.<\/p>",
