    "no_response_filed": "<p>The Complainant asserts that the disputed domain name is identical to its trademark ARCELOR. The addition of the gTLD &ldquo;.top&rdquo; does not affect the assessment of confusing similarity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Complainant contends that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name, is not commonly known by it, has not been authorized to use the Complainant&rsquo;s trademark and is not related in any way with the Complainant, who does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent. The disputed domain name resolves to a parking page and has not been used.<\/p>\n<p>The Complainant further contends that the disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith. The Complainant&rsquo;s trademark is well-known and has been recognized as such in prior UDRP decisions (e.g., WIPO Case No. DME2018-0005; CAC Case No. 100756). The Respondent must have had knowledge of the Complainant&rsquo;s rights at the time of registration.
