    "factual_background": "<p>The Complainant&rsquo;s PLIVA mark enjoys longstanding recognition in the pharmaceutical sector. The brand has been featured in various news articles and industry publications highlighting its research contributions, corporate developments, and market presence. The Complainant also has a notable social media presence across multiple platforms, with 42 thousand followers on Facebook, almost 8 thousand followers on Instagram, and with more than 1.6 thousand employees connected to its LinkedIn profile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Complainant has been a successful complainant in a previous UDRP proceeding involving the PLIVA mark:<span>&nbsp;<\/span><u>Pliva Hrvatska D.O.O. v. Domain Administrator, See PrivacyGuardian.org \/ yulin zhu, WIPO Case No. D2021-0365<\/u><span>&nbsp;<\/span>(concerning<span>&nbsp;<\/span><strong>&lt;plivahealth.com&gt;<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>The Complainant has established that the Respondent has used the disputed domain name &ndash; which is confusingly similar to the Complainant&rsquo;s PLIVA mark and its corporate domain &lt;pliva.com&gt; &ndash; in a fraudulent e-mail phishing scheme intended to impersonate an employee of the Complainant and deceive a business partner into redirecting a payment by purchasing and transferring cryptocurrency, as requested by the Respondent. To do so, the Respondent appears to have inserted itself into an existing e-mail thread between the Complainant and the third party, replicating the thread using e-mail addresses very similar to those of employees and differing from the genuine addresses by only one single letter in each case.<\/p>\n<p>The disputed domain name was registered on 13. 05. 2025 and is therefore younger than the rights held by the Complainant.<\/p>",

    "no_response_filed": "<p>The Complainant contends that the requirements of the Policy have been met and that the disputed domain name should be transferred to it. <br \/>No administratively compliant Response has been filed.<\/p>",
    "rights": "<p>The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the disputed domain name is 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": "<p>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 name (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy).<\/p>",
    "bad_faith": "<p>The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy).<\/p>",
