The Complainant states that it is a French company specialized in the production, processing and distribution of materials for the construction and industrial markets, and <\/span>one of the top industrial groups in the world with around 46.6 billion euros in turnover in 2024 and 161,000 employees.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Complainant points out that it is the owner of the international trademark \"SAINT-GOBAIN<\/span><\/span>\", registered before the registration of the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n

The Complainant submits that it owns an important domain names portfolio, including the domain name <saint-gobain.com<\/span>> registered since December 29, 1995<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Complainant considers that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademark \"SAINT-GOBAIN<\/span><\/span>\".<\/p>\n

The Complainant notes that the disputed domain name resolves to a parking page.<\/p>\n

The Complainant states that the disputed domain name is an obvious misspelling of the Complainant’s trademark \"SAINT-GOBAIN\"<\/span><\/span> and constitutes a case of typosquatting.<\/p>\n

The Complainant adds that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name and it is not related in any way with the Complainant.<\/p>\n

The Complainant asserts that the Respondent is not commonly known as the disputed domain name, because it is not identified in the Whois database as the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n

The Complainant clarifies that it does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent.<\/p>\n

The Complainant underlines that neither license nor authorization has been granted to the Respondent to make any use of the Complainant’s trademark \"SAINT-GOBAIN<\/span><\/span>\", or apply for registration of the disputed domain name.
The Complainant observes that the disputed domain name is a typosquatted version of its trademark \"SAINT-GOBAIN<\/span><\/span>\".<\/p>\n

Therefore, the Complainant contends that the Respondent has no right or legitimate interest in respect of the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n

The Complainant points out that, given the worldwide extensive use of the well-known Complainant's trademarks, it is reasonable to infer that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademark. The Complainant argues that the misspelling of its trademark \"SAINT-GOBAIN<\/span><\/span>\" is an indication of bad faith.<\/p>\n

The Complainant adds that the postal address of the Respondent available in the Whois database seems false and this would constitute evidence of bad faith.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the Complainant considers that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain name and is using it in bad faith.<\/p>\n<\/div>", "other_legal_proceedings": "
