The Complainant is an Italian manufacturer of sports cars based in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy. The company of the Complainant was founded in 1963 by Ferruccio Lamborghini as Automobili Ferrucio Lamborghini. The vehicles of the Complainant belong to the world’s most famous luxury sports cars and are promoted in different languages worldwide on the internet, inter alia at the Complainant’s website “www.lamborghini.com”.<\/p>\n
The disputed domain name was registered on October 18, 2021, and since that time has resolved to a website redirecting Internet users to a commercial car rental platform in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, prominently featuring Lamborghini-branded vehicles alongside other competing luxury marques.<\/p>", "other_legal_proceedings": "

The Complainant<\/strong><\/p>\n The Complainant asserts that each of the elements enumerated in paragraph 4(a) of the Policy and the corresponding provisions in the Rules have been satisfied. In particular, the Complainant asserts that:<\/p>\n (1) The disputed domain name is confusingly similar to a trademark in which the Complainant has rights, as it wholly incorporates the to the Complainant’s LAMBORGHINI mark together with the non-distinguishing terms “dubai” and “rent”;<\/p>\n (2) The Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. The Complainant has not granted permission to use its trademark to the Respondent. The Complainant has not licensed or authorized the Respondent to use its mark. The Respondent’s use does not meet the Oki Data criteria: the site does not exclusively offer Lamborghini goods or services, but instead promotes competing brands such as Ferrari and Rolls-Royce; it does not accurately disclose the lack of relationship with the Complainant; and it misappropriates Lamborghini’s word and figurative marks. The Respondent is not commonly known by “Lamborghini”, and its use is purely commercial;<\/p>\n (3) The disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith. Given the fame of the LAMBORGHINI mark, the Respondent clearly knew of the Complainant’s rights when registering the disputed domain name. By using the domain to attract Internet users to a commercial car rental website that creates the false impression of affiliation, the Respondent intentionally attempts to confuse consumers for commercial gain. Additional evidence of bad faith includes the Respondent’s concealment of its identity through a privacy service, the absence of any legitimate contact details, and the lack of conceivable good-faith use of the name.<\/p>\n The Complainant requests transfer of the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n The Respondent<\/strong><\/p>\n The Respondent did not reply to the Complainant’s contentions.<\/p>",

The Complainant requested that the language of the proceeding be English, and the Panel agrees for the following reasons:<\/p>\n The Respondent made no submissions on the language of the proceeding. In exercising its discretion to use a language other than that of the Registration Agreement, the Panel acts in the spirit of fairness and justice to both parties, taking into account all relevant circumstances, including the parties’ ability to understand and use the proposed language, as well as time and cost considerations.<\/p>\n Having considered the above, the Panel determines under paragraph 11(a) of the Rules that the language of the proceeding shall be English.<\/p>",
