The disputed domain names appear to resolve to different websites all mentioning the PHILIPS mark and offering for sale products similar <\/span>to those of the Complainant (e.g. electronics). Although the images on the website linked to the disputed domain name <\/span><philips-ir.com> relate to furniture or wooden objects, a machine translation of this website indicates that electric appliances (such as “Philips shaver” or “Philips Vacuum Cleaner”) are also offered for sale.<\/span><\/p>",
"other_legal_proceedings": " The Panel is not aware of any other legal proceedings which are pending or decided and which relate to the disputed domain names.<\/p>",
"no_response_filed": " The Complainant contends that the requirements of the Policy have been met and that the disputed domain names should be transferred to it.<\/p>\n No administratively compliant Response has been filed.<\/p>",
"rights": " The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the disputed domain names are identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy).<\/p>",
"no_rights_or_legitimate_interests": " The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Respondent to have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain names (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy).<\/p>",

"procedural_factors": " The disputed domain name <iran-philip.com> was registered in the name of hossein gholamrezaei as registrant. The other disputed domain names were registered in the names of meysam habibvand (<philips-ir.com>) and Mohsenkamali (<iliaphilips.com>) as registrants.<\/p>\n Disputes against differently named registrants may be consolidated where the disputed domain names or websites are under common control and consolidation is fair and equitable to all parties, taking into account procedural efficiency (see section 4.11.2 of the WIPO Overview of WIPO Panel Views on Selected UDRP Questions, Third Edition (WIPO Jurisprudential Overview 3.0; Pandora A\/S v Larry Sack<\/em>, CAC case 103259).<\/p>\n Although the disputed domain names are registered under these different names, the Complaint identifies a number of common factors:<\/p>\n The Panel finds that these factors in themselves are insufficient to conclude that the disputed domain names are under common control. However, the Panel identified another common factor: except for the telephone country code, all three identified registrants mention an identical 10-digit telephone number. The Panel finds that this cannot be a coincidence.<\/p>\n The Panel also notes that none of the common factors identified in the Complaint nor the inference that the disputed domain names are under common control have been disputed. On the balance of probabilities, the Panel finds that the disputed domain names are under common control based on the combination of all factors identified above. The Panel is also satisfied that consolidation of these disputes is fair and equitable to all parties, and that they should be consolidated in the interest of procedural efficiency.<\/p>\n In these circumstances, the Panel is satisfied that all procedural requirements under UDRP were met and there is no other reason why it would be inappropriate to provide a decision.<\/span><\/p>",
