The Complainant is a global consumer electronics manufacturer based in China, set up in 2010 and listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on July 9, 2018. The Complainant´s global user exceeds 594 million.<\/p>\n
The Complainant operates its primary business website at the domain name <mi.com>. The Complainant´s trademarks MI and XIAOMI are to be considered well-known for UDRP purposes.<\/p>\n
The disputed domain name was registered on March 5, 2025 and redirected to a website that reproduced the Complainant´s trademarks MI and XIAOMI and also featured the orange and white colour scheme for a long time associated with the Complainant. The banner of the website also offered recruitment for creators and video blogger to become a XIAOMI´s partner.<\/p>\n
Currently, the disputed domain name is inactive.<\/p>\n
On June 18, 2025 the Complainant sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Respondent.<\/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 name.<\/p>", "no_response_filed": "
THE COMPLAINANT <\/p>\n
The Complainant contends that the requirements of the Policy have been met and that the disputed domain name should be transferred to it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In particular, the Complainant alleges that it is the owner of MI and XIAOMI trademarks and the disputed domain name is composed of the Complainant’s trademark MI in its entirety with the mere addition of the term “partner” and a hyphen. Thus, the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademarks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Complainant also contends that none of the circumstances depicted in paragraph 4 (c) of the Policy applies in this case. Indeed, the Complainant alleges that the Respondent has not been authorized or licensed to use its trademarks in a corresponding domain name, there is no evidence that the Respondent is commonly known by the disputed domain name or the lack of fair or non-commercial use of the disputed domain name. In this regard, the Complainant notes that the reproduction of its trademark rights, favicon and brand images in the Respondent´s website is an attempt to take advantage of the Complainant's goodwill. Further, the Complainant alleges that the Respondent´s website when active, did not comply with the OKI Data test.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Complainant´s trademark is well-known and the previous use of the disputed domain name meets paragraph 4(b)(iv) of the Policy. Besides, Respondent´s previous use of the disputed domain name constitutes a disruption of Complainant´s business as set up in paragraph 4(b)(iii) of the Policy. Thus, registration and use is in bad faith.<\/p>\n
Finally, the Complainant contends that the Respondent has been involved in several UDRP cases as respondent.<\/p>\n
