Preliminary Issue - Consolidation: Multiple disputed domain names<\/p>\n

 Paragraph 3(c) of the Rules states that a complaint may relate to more than one domain name, provided that the domain names are registered by the same domain name holder.<\/p>\n

 In this respect, the Panel notes that the disputed domain names have:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1) the very same structure (reproduction of Complainant trademark ARKEMA without any alteration + hyphen + geographical term referring to the Netherlands + the identical extension .com);<\/p>\n

 2) almost identical Registrant names (WEB COMPANY \/ WEB MASTER) and Registrant e-mails (scmserver85@gmail.com \/ scmwebnet@gmail.com);<\/p>\n

3) a US Registrar;<\/p>\n

It should be noted that the Registrant for <arkema-nl.com> is Renji Kuruvilla, the same person that originally registered and fraudulently used other domain names recognized as a violation of the Complainant's rights in past UDRP complaint (<arkema-bv.com> and <arkemagroup-eu.com>), while on <arkema-nederland.com> a messaging server is created with IP addresses that are identical to the ones that were configured with the two previous domain names <arkema-bv.com> and <arkemagroup-eu.com>.<\/p>\n

The Respondent has not replied to the Complaint.<\/p>\n

The Panel sees no reason why consolidation of the disputed domain names would be unfair or inequitable to any Party, and resolves the case against the Respondent with regard to both disputed domain names.<\/p>\n<\/div>", "decision": "Accepted", "panelists": [ "Tommaso La Scala" ], "date_of_panel_decision": "2025-04-14 00:00:00", "informal_english_translation": "
