The disputed domain name <1xbet-uzbekistan.bet> was registered on 29 January 2025. The disputed domain name resolves to a website which impersonates the official 1xBet website, uses the Complainant’s trade marks and get-up, and closely mimics the official 1xBET website in its visual presentation and branding elements, including the use of a distinctive blue-and-white colour scheme associated with the Complainant’s brand identity. The overall layout, typography, and promotional banners replicate the design and marketing style of the official 1xBET website.<\/p>", "other_legal_proceedings": "

The Panel notes that the Complainant’s authorised representative, Karel Sindelka, is also a UDRP domain name panellist at the ADR Center of the Czech Arbitration Court. Since there is no close personal or financial relationship between the Panel and the Complainant’s authorised representative, and they have not previously acted as joint panellists in any UDRP proceeding, the Panel considers the present case to fall within the “green list” of the IBA Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration and not therefore to give rise to a conflict of Interest on the part of the present Panel.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Panel further notes that, while the Complainant is the owner of a number of trade marks consisting of the name 1XBET, it does not itself appear to use these trade marks in the course of trade, such use occurring instead through trading affiliates which are not themselves a party to this proceeding. To the extent that this is the case, and absent any submissions from the Complainant on this issue, the Panel is nevertheless satisfied that, were related parties have rights in the relevant trade mark on which a UDRP complaint is based, the UDRP complaint may be brought by any one of these parties, including the corporate entity which holds the relevant trade mark rights on behalf of its group (see, for example, WIPO Case No. D2008-1368, Embarq Holdings Company LLC v. Domainsbigtime.com <embarqblog.com>; and WIPO Case No. D2010-1728, Endemol Netherland B.V v. David Williams <Endemoltv.com>).<\/p>\n

The Panel is satisfied that all other procedural requirements under UDRP were met and there is no other reason why it would be inappropriate to provide a decision.<\/p>", "decision": "Accepted", "panelists": [ "Gregor Kleinknecht LLM MCIArb" ], "date_of_panel_decision": "2025-06-08 00:00:00", "informal_english_translation": "
