FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:<\/p>\n
The Complainant, founded in 2004, is one of the largest university hospitals in Europe, with more than 16,000 employees across 150 professions, focused on the healthcare of more than 337,000 patients, with special responsibility for secondary and tertiary healthcare. According to its 2024 Annual Report, the Complainant performed more than 59,600 operations and received more than 1,501,000 outpatient visits said year, from both Sweden and abroad. In 2025, and for the sixth consecutive year, the Complainant has been r<\/u>anked one of the top ten hospitals in the world by Newsweek Magazine. Moreover, in 2025, Newsweek also compiled a list of hospitals that best utilize the most advanced technology in healthcare, ‘World’s Best Smart Hospitals’, being the Complainant placed thirteenth in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n The Complainant is the owner of the registered trademark KAROLINSKA in numerous countries. The Complainant's trademark registrations predate the registration of the disputed domain names which were registered on February 2025.<\/p>\n According to the Complainant, although the disputed domain names also incorporate the gTLDs \".clinic\", \".doctor\", \".online\" and \".site\", they are confusingly similar to the KAROLINSKA mark since they fully incorporate that Complainant's mark.<\/p>\n The Complainant informs that it has never authorized the Respondent to use its KAROLINSKA mark for any reason or in any manner, including in or as part of the disputed domain names. The Complainant also affirms that it is not affiliated or otherwise connected with the Respondent.<\/p>\n In the Complainant's view, nothing suggests that the Respondent holds any trademark rights on the term KAROLINSKA. In addition, according to the Complainant, there is no evidence that the Respondent has been commonly known by the disputed domain names in dispute or by the term KAROLINSKA.<\/p>\n In particular, the results of the searches made by the Complainant with EUIPO and GOOGLE related to the term KAROLINSKA make reference to the Complainant's mark and to the Complainant's activities and not to the Respondent.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the Complainant informs that an attempt to contact the Respondent was made through a cease and desist letter sent to the Respondent of the disputed domain names and that it has never received any response. The Complainant insists that, at the present time, there are no active websites associated with the disputed domain names in dispute which constitutes passive holding of the disputed domain names.<\/p>\n Finally, the Complainant informs to have been involved in a previous ADR proceeding with the same Respondent and related to the domain name <karolinska.hospital>. In that proceeding, the panel decided to transfer the disputed domain name to <\/span>Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset<\/p>",
